I left my car at a shopping centre car park today and I came back, someone has scraped my front bar!!

There's no dints but they took the paint off ;)

So I'm wondering if I have to respray the whole bar? or just that little section or just get some touch up paint to fix it up.

Does anyone have an idea of how much it will cost and where I could go to get it fixed in SE Melb? so no one can notice it afterwards?

Go see Harry or Tim at Police rd panels Police rd near the junction..

they have done some work for me for in the past including front bar respray and i highly recommend them for price and workmanship and customer service.

someone gouged my front bumper a while back in the parking lot, peeled my license plate back too like a sardine can. I knocked it back with filler and gave it to my mates dad who works at a place that paints those factory HSV bodykits. I just hope the other car came off second best.

you could probably get away with "as above" matching the paint and then professionally knocking it back and finishing it off with a good buff.

the front bar doesnt have ANY dints on it (lucky me). when i run my hand across it, it still feel smooth-ish, just that the coat of paint is missing :D so i just thought i just need some touch up paint that i could brush on myself?

yeah as troy said they colour match

i went to a workshop in the city with a similar type of damage, they quoted $300 to repsray the small section but ended up spraying the whole bar cos they said it was easier, at the same price

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
