Well at work, sometime between 11-3 someone either reversed into the front of my car or used a foreign object to bend my numberplate on one side so it kinda closed. Peeved off that this happened and just wondering if a block of wood behind it and tapping it with a mallet would put it back to almost the original state. If anyone has put one back into shape then let me know lol.

By the looks of it, it got hit by the corner or a towbar, but it must have been a low car to only hit the plate! If it was someone using an object of some kind then i hope you get hit by a bus.

Yup, will never be quite straight again. Have the same prob with the front plate on my SP23. got caught on my pants as I was walking past the front of the car, and bent the corner big time :) Never been straight since, so only way for 100% straight is to buy a new one.

thanks Nick :D always Mr. Info :)

Heard any more about a Melbourne move yet mate?

I'm heading over this weekend to meet a couple of people. Doubtful anything will happen at this stage i keep on hearing the same old crap of "i'll let you know soon"

like someone else said, lucky it was only your plates!

I laughed when i read u jumped on it lol, funny

By the way, spotted you at marion one evening last week, was gonna come over n say hello but thought i would have seemed a bit.. odd

new plates are something like $25 - have a splurge and buy new ones

They came out pretty good by beating them with a mallet lol

be glad its only your plate that is smashed :P

Little bit of damage on the front bar from their number plate screws (i think) but yeah pretty lucky

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
