Its hard to quote a respray job without acctually seeing the damage because the key may have left an indent in the metal and needs more work to fix. If its just a light-ish scratch on th hood your looking at $400 for a good colour matched respray... dunno about the rest

People who do these sort of things shit me.

PM me if you want to know how it can be fixed for nothing.

You might even be able to make abit on the side.

Nothing illegal....ffs....I mean you didn't scratch it or pay some one to do it.(Hoping not).

No-one is injured,you still have your car.

Cheers.

sorry to hear that man... these f*krs should be whipped in public like those kids in singapore like 10 years ago... i hate f*krs like that.. anyways... there are mobile paint repairers who specialise in chips and scratches and are usually cheaper then a respray and usualy quality work... i think some of them give free quotes so might be worth checking out... check in yellow pages and maybe google it as well... good luck...

Hearing shit like this drives me nuts. is the current paint faided at all? cos resprays can be a **** if thats the case. id recommend u drop ur insurance policy, its hardly worth it with a 1k excess LOl! unless your doing alot of drifting or somehting.. best bet wud be to just take it to a respray joint and get it quoted.

The paintless dent repair guys can work wonders - even on keyed paint work. Have a look at their website, and give them a call - they'll come out and give you a free quote, and tell you if its beyond their scope. But using touch up paint, and cutting and polishing, key marks can be repaired without a respray.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
