and I parked away from all the other cars.

I still managed to get hit by someone reversing or turning around. I noticed it this morning in the light.

I am really not impressed at all :P

Will cut and polish tommorrow and organise someone to pop the dent out, but i have a feeling it will never look the same again. I should probably get some touch up paint for the scratch also.

I dont reall have any idea who it was at this stage and probably will never know.

someone's reversed and turned into it.....very slowly, on a very accute angle. Looks like anyones car that has been parked out the front of my place! (drug dealers across the road who can't 'reverse turn' when they're high). Bummer mate!!

Bad news.

I had a dent repair guy come around and take a look and he said he couldnt get it looking anything like new. He said the repair would look dodgy so he didnt think he should bother.

I will cut and polish it today. Now everytime I get in my car I will see the dodgy panel :)

What are my options? Panel beater? full respray on door?

anyone know aprox costs? So broke at the moment :)

pro beater should be able to repair it for under $1000.. unfortunately any scrape, no matter how minor can be costly to repair.

You may be surprised how well the cut and polish takes it out.. and maybe you will be able to leave it like that until you get some cash to repair it properly.. but of course "you" will always know its there, and where to look at.. that always sucks.

Mines got a few small minor dents and long scratches.. that from 5-10m away you can barely see at all and the car looks "straight as".. but in bright sunlight and close up they're obvious enough.

Do you think it was a white car that did it?

Ask everyone at the party who was there if they can remember who rocked up just after you who drives a white car that has a new scrape on it.

If you make a big deal about it and say if the owner doesnt own up you'll do a lot worse to them, news and rumours will spread fast and eventually you'll find out which scum did it..

Then you can kill them.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
