New Car Interior by Toyota
Pity it wasn't black paint!
"A £35,000 car has been “written off” after its interior was covered in gallons of paint following a road accident.
Footage shows the vehicle’s dashboard, wheel, seats, carpets, doors and roof splattered with liberal quantities of white paint.
The car, which is thought to be a Toyota C-HR, has been left with a specialist vehicle restorer after its interior was unintentionally given a fresh coat.
“The cost of cleaning or replacing the interior would be more than the vehicle is worth."

Looks an improvement on the original acres of black plastic

The footwell full of cans and old takeaway cartons tells its own story, methinks. No wonder they wrote the car off. They'd never have managed to banish the lingering smell of Burger King.

Indeed, back in my sporting days when I happened to receive a lift sometimes, I was quite often shocked by the approach of some individuals who used the passenger footwell as a bin. I'd think why didn't you simply take them out when you got home?
Would they do the same in their property - just use part of the room as a bin even if there isn't one there! From occasional inspections of my own properties, I can say that some people do! As to what sort of mentality or upbringing results in that sort of behaviour I really have no idea - or maybe it's just total laziness in which case god only knows what they're like in their jobs.

Re: New Car Interior by Toyota
I think it would probably be just about a write-off without the paint.

Blimey, that must have been some burger.
Odd, on reflection, that such a nasty bang should have happened on the nearside. D'you think he dropped his Coke, or was it because he reacted to the spillage?

Re: New Car Interior by Toyota
After an accident like that, I hope the driver was all white
The car is with a specialist restorer. I wouldn't have thought it would be cost-effective to restore that

Agreed. Mostly very classy cars at that establishment. It's probably just parked up while they wait for the loss adjuster.. Unless it was the new apprentice's car, of course?
All that string around the centre console was presumably what the clown had used to tie down his supersized bucket of paint? (Maybe he should have used a seatbelt like everybody else?)
All very upsetting, though. I feel quite emulsional.

Re: New Car Interior by Toyota
It appears that the airbag hasn't deployed, rather strange given the external damage indicating some force in the collision. Or have I missed something?

didn't read the story (cos they wanted money or something) but airbag triggers need power - so if the car was hit while parket they wouldn't go off

I'm glossing over that comment.

Comments like that are best Rollered into a Pile in the out Tray. Better still, no Skirting around the issue, stop walking on Eggshell just Brush them under the Matt completely.
