It may have a stuffed plate or two if its dented badly enough.

My battery that was leaking was bloated also. Zero overcharging and usual engine bay temps. Its suspected it may have been dropped prior to purchase.

So maybe the mechanics not to blame? Was fine before i went there tho. This sux going from a swanky engine bay to one like my toyota corona ( giv or take a little ). Be good if they were at fault just so i can have things fixed, will be seeing him sometime this week. He still thinks its the alternator!

Well for those of you who are interested, i saw my mechanic and he denied topping the battery up. My alternator was fine aswell. I then went to a battery mob and he confirmed that the battery was overfilled! Causing the battery to swell when its trying to gas and then spurting acid out of the breather holes!! So i bought a new battery and has been fine since. Not sure what to do now bout the mess its left my engine bay and front bar in? The mechanic's just going to deny topping it up again! Any suggestions????????????

Ring the mechanic and tell him what the battery bloke has said.

Then state you won't be taking your car back to him and will be suggesting to every one you know not to take it there either.

Here Here, I do agree, unfortunatly there is not much that can be done about it unless you can prove they did fill it up! looks like your gonna need to re paint yourself bro! :laugh:

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
