Ya'know...two posts up is right whether they were serious or joking ?!? Lol couldn't tell.

Anyways, alot of that would actually buff out..and i don't see any panel/bar deformation otherwise a good respray plus blending in won't be much anyways...the shop i goto would charge about $500-600 to do it for me.

Good thing on them leaving their details. I had someone bump park my first car ages ago and no details.. had to pay $400 myself to fix it.

It's now an insurance job. The guy rang last night.

He had his car quoted at the same place as ours and the manager told him how bad ours was.

Could be up to $3K if they replace the rim as well. Going to have it spun up at the local tyre place next week to see if the rim is buckled.

Panel has been pushed in a fair bit.

Just what I needed :P Not!

Had some pr*ck dent my car in secure parking. Left nothing. Went to work in the morning and car is fine. Come back from a shitty day at work and saw it.

I was a road rage machine that arvo.

still havent had it professionally looked at cause with the new job i constantly need my car.

I also got keyed across 3 panels at a shopping centre.

No contact info for either and no CCTV that they would allow me to view. Damn secure parking!

    • 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.
