Does anyone know how much these are worth?

Had a little scrape in a car park and did some very minor damage to my driver side front plastic guard (only visible from less than 1m away).

Does anyone know how much these are worth to replace? just wondering whether its worth putting in the insurance claim.

Cheers

Does anyone know where i can get a plastic front passenger ARX rub guard?

Mine flung off on the Freeway.

Hahaha. Ahem...I mean, bugger, that's no good mate.:(

You knew it was loose & dodgy & still you didn't do anything to ensure it was secure. Ever heard of duct tape lol.

I'm guessing you couldn't go back & pick it up? Probably stuffed anyway.

lol i was thinking of taping it. but just never did it.

oh well if i cant find one ill just start making it an axis, Jason might be able to help me out but yeh. no rush. just a pain

I'll see what i can do...but not often readily available other than new or secondhand and still attached to a guard (where they should be) :nyaanyaa:

Got the part number handy??

Wtf happened? How did it get damaged?

lol i dont know, the whole thing just ripped off on the freeway.

I vote getting rid of the SUV / crossover look & make it an Axis. Do they leave any marks when they come off?

i vote this too, but i dont know if i wanna spend the $1000 for all the parts. i didnt realy wanna spend too much more on this car..

Aaron/Leon - Axis and ARX use the same flares, the only difference is the Axis flares are colour coded.

RS/RX is the look you'll be after if you rip them off Aaron.

Handy if you want to get a body kit.

Ahhh, I see (slaps forehead). Then what I was meaning was turn it into a flare-less RS/RX look. But if there is heaps of work required to patch up bodywork after the flares come off....better not to bother.

Edit: thanks Iain, you answered my question.

wont you need new front guards and have the holes in the rear quarters filled too?

not to mention the side skirts wont fit as they have the wheel arch cutouts in them

just paint the whole kit aaron

Agreed.

Steps to transform ugly ARX into not-ugly :P

1. Acquire Axis front and rear bars

2. Get a custom grill made up (or pay through the arse for Axis grill, bonnet ornament and backing)

3. Colour code the lot

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
