I'm in need of a touch up guy as the rear corner of my metalic silver stagea had some loving by an inconsiderate bastard in a carpark

just the rear corner of the bumper - no other panel damage

i might if he/she/they have a bit of extra paint made up i might request a fix to the small scuff on the front bar where the previous owner said hello to a kerb in another parking lot, nice to neaten it up.

if you are a touch up bloke (not a bloke touching up) or know of a good guy who can fix it and not make it stand out like dogs balls on a hot day shoot me a pm or feel free to recommend places to call.

car is in the Nth suburbs but i can take it to work (mitcham area) if need be during the day.

I'd like to get it fixed soon as my fiancee feels responsible because it was under her care at the time. she cries when she sees it and then it becomes annoying...

Thanks

Dan

Try a mob called "ChipsAdelaide" - I used them on my S15 a few years back (when they were still known as Chips Away) and did a good job at a great price.

Yep ... I've let my little lady drive my Stagea a handful of times, and the odd scuff on the car has been her :D

    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
