It looks no where near as bad in pics as it actually is. Frame is now bent and unless I find the person who did it, I'm up for:

- new front bar (free - have one at home)
- new number plate ($120 re-issuing fee)
- new intercooler ($300)
- New passenger side grill (?? - it was one that said "Toyota", not the usual "3.0 Turbo")
- Paint - (At least $200)
- Labour (free - hopefully!)

I have Toyota Nationals coming up in about 6 weeks, so I am hoping to have it all fixed before then.

I am heading out in about an hour or so to looks at all the cars in the carpark to see if anyone's towball has gold paint on it and will also be asking all the businesses in the building if anyone saw anything. I doubt the person who did it will come forward, but it's worth a shot!

wow, you're pretty damn optomistic..!

I'll be honest, I one cut a corner a liiiiitle too close and scraped another car..

I got out hoping someone saw, so I could tell the owner. No one was around, so I got out and it looked like it could buff out, so I made sure there were no dents, cleaned it up with some wax/polish I had in the car, and it looked brand new afterward, no scrapes or anything. I didn't leave my info as it was a pretty bad neighborhood, but atleast I tried...

I'm trying really hard to be optimistic.

Was in a pretty foul mood all last night, as money is super tight at the moment, so really didn't need something like this to happen.

Someone hit my truck a long long time ago... someone with something high, probably an SUV, and white. Anyway, to do the damage they did to my truck, they would have had to have crushed in their body panel, probably atleast a few inches long and atleast an inch deep(as that the paint was scraped across my bumper and fender, which has quite an elevation difference). My back bumper is bent now, but I know someone REALLY fucked up their vehicle bending my bumper. I just hope it was something nice, new, and expensive.

I hope you find the dipshit who f*cked your car up.

Is that supposed to say not bent? Or is the frame bent?

Can't you just bend it back - it doesn't look bad. My plates are $25 US, which works out to be about $28 AU...$120 AU is damned expensive.

The ones here in the US all have that - I'll send you one off my 90T if you PM me your address.

There aren't any camera's in your lot? Thankfully I park near Target where I work and they have more camera's on the side of their buildings then fort knox.
People have scraped my dd before (Honda) and I've never really cared before. but I swear if anyone gets within 3 feet of my supra and there will be issues.
Good luck.

now bent = is bent

Nope, it's pretty fucked.

A friend backed into my car a few years back, and we hammered it straight, but i think this one is beyond saving.


The ones here in the US all have that - I'll send you one off my 90T if you PM me your address.

Please don't take something off your car - i'll keep an eye out for some wrecking threads :)

That really sucks hun, sorry that happens.

Yep, it sucks ALOT.

Chris,

Unfortunately, no cameras, the parking lot is behind the building, and it's all really open.

I wish there were cameras, as in the last week, someone has tried to break into it :(

Sucks to read babe, right after you finally got her all cherry again :cry:

Yep, not even on the road for 3 months and this happens

If it was any other car, I wouldn't give a shit, but this has really upset me:(

No cameras anywhere around here due to the way the street and buildings are setup.
