thats mainly cosmetic. I would be looking at the headlight mount and a new guard myself. having said that its not torn and I dare say any decent panel shop could hammer it back out and straight.

got insurance?

no insurance,has had it for 3 days..

drive it around then,save some money and fix it. thats easily a $1000 worth of ding if you do not have to replce teh panel . it almost looks like it was backed into twice at that height.

fark this is exactly why I try to park my car between other workers cars @ my work so if i get a ding I know who did it and more so that my fellow workers would hopefully take care when they open up their doors

when in comes to shopping centres I allways try park away from other cars 2

+1, I always do this.

Also don't you hate it when you picked like the most far away & remote location in a shopping center car park to park & when you come back you find a sh*t box rust bucket parked next to you (when there are like a million other spots available closer to the shops), then you have to do a detailed check around your car for like 10 minutes.

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
