So yes, i've got my kit and they terribly fit. Right now im in middle of returning back to seller and will therefore need a panel beater / smash repair in Sydney (prefer West or South West) for a FULL RESPRAY. perhaps I will leave my roof untouched since I'll be wrapping it with gloss black vinyl anyway. Do you have any recommendation ? What should I be looking at for a full respray of 3-layer pearl white QX1 ?? Should I be as well change it to Lexus Pearl White or keep it simple as Ivory Pearl White ? I have had quotes ranging from like 2k to 6k. I've heard about Exclusive in Smithfiled, Smashtech or MADHATTER. Anyone has experience with these or any other suggestion ???

Give the guys from Waitara Smash Repairs
Phone:(02) 9489 7777 - Address: 5 Romsey St, Waitara NSW 2077
They fixed my old Pulsar and the paint work was top notch and they done it cheaper than any other place i asked.
generally the ones that quote $2000 will only mask over trims and leave the glass in and paint right up to the edge so allot of those cheaper options wont turn out as professional looking as you expect. the more expensive ones will usually be cus they change stuff like the plastic at the window on the outside and rubbers and all of that stuff and replace it with new one.
the guys from Waitara did it proper and for only 2k full respray.
Go in and ask them if you can have a look at one of their recent jobs that is in the shop to get an idea.

cheers mate this'll come in handy for me, live right near this place and am looking for a respray some time

Went to Xclusive Colours Smash Repairs in Smithfield today. Basically, I have a dent on rear bar, bit damage on front left guard and a radiator support damage which has been hit by a reverse from the front. Good news is Louie still there and happy to put a hand on my car from A->Z. Bad news is that I got quoted for 5k (not including parts such as radiator support, front left fender if needed to in case repairing doesnt get over 90% of the original and some other small stuff like pins, special bolts or some rubber on the doors' edges). He guaranteed the car would look perfect, like a show car, and that I can pick any sort of colour of pearl white, even white with gold/blue/silver pearl.

Originally thought it wouldve cost around 3k (dont get me wrong, i know an excellent paint job would be something like upto 10k) but I didnt need an OUTSTANDING JOB. Would u guys think 5k is an acceptable quote for that kinda job??? I have only set aside 3k so If 5k is the way to go then might have to delay a bit

i've heard some ppl came to this place and get one bar (front / rear) repaired and respray for something like 300 pearl white. some if that's the case, I will have:

Front + rear = 600

2 doors = 600

4 quarter panel = 600->800

trims around windows = 300

bonnet = 400

boot lid = 300

Roof = 300

2 side skirts = 400 -> 600

TOtal = 3500 -> 4k

So yeah, I really don't know why it goes upto 5k. also, I guess it will save a lot of money for them if I do all at once, since they only need to mix the paint once, and dont need EXCESSIVE ALLOWANCE. And the quote I've been given didnt include the roof since I told him i might just vinyl wrap it. Can you guys please refer me to a good place to do full respray :(. I've been so desaprate for this :(

Went to Candyman in Villawood today, 5k5 including fitting, respray entire car (inside out except engine bay) and fixing damages. The man seems to be ok, not too dodgy like other smash repairers, yet the place is SUPER TINY, and not CLEAN. I still wonder why there's a C63 AMG and a R34 GTR in there T_T

Hello. I have been in an accident two years back. And I need to repair my car asap. I have looked for SSPAM LILINK DELETED workshop, and after tried with many automotive repairers, finally I have found Lewisham Smash Repairs company and they finished my car repair in the meantime. My experience with them is very expert in work, polite in nature, and answers to my question that asked very calmly and professionally. So I would suggest you can go to them and get your car back in your time given time. Thanks.

That is the worst attempt at a spam post trying to look genuine  I have ever seen.

    • With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.
    • Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath 
    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
