Yep, it all sucks. You get your pride and joy looking how you want it and being a "head turning car" then some low life's have to go and spoil it by doing acts like this! It was actually month or so ago one morning I went out to my car to find "fuck u" written on the drivers door. I thought it was my brother but he promised it was not him, so now I am on edge at nights wondering if the car will be safe etc which is not fair!
The other thought that runs through my mind is the kind of area I live in isn't exactly nice, and I'm worried if I report and the police investigate, the person who has done it knows where the car is parked and could do more damage to the car out of spite, meaning more then a £20 bill to me for a number plate. There are no CCTV cameras in the car park, so wouldn't be able to check etc.
I keep meaning to post pics up, which I shall do tonight, but I actually got off lightly- nothing a bit of compound won't sort lol

Hey, thanks for all the replies
As soon as I got the reg I looked it up, and matches what my neighbour said the car was, but that's all.
I assessed the damage this morning, and think most of it will buff out, thank god, but still iv had to pay out for another front plate as don't want to get pulled by the cops for having the damaged plate in the windscreen, for which I have kept for evidence. I also rang up 101 today, which they have taken down the situation and now have to go to my local police to show documents and take statements, so will have to wait and see what happens afterwards.

How lovely is it to come home from a workout session to find some b*****d has gone into my car
My gen7 was parked infront of a garage in the car park we have outside our house. Whilst my mum was reversing her car into a space I saw a white plac on the floor and no white number plate on my car, jumped out and someone has reversed into the front of my car, taking the number plate clean off and scratching the front bumper. The impact was also that bad that it pushed my car right back into the garage I'm parked infront.
No note or nothing, just driven straight off, the low life's. but aha I have luck on my side. A while later I went outside to check all the other parked cars Incase it was them, when a neighbour turned up and said she heard the bang of the impact and the damage and managed to get the number plate of the guy/car who went into me- thank you very much. I know maybe not much can be done but going to report it and see what is said.
But at the end of it all, taking positives out of negatives, the damage isn't huge, scratches can be buffed out and I have a friend who spray paints cars for a living so he can help. I was also thinking of getting new plates, so this now gives me no decision but to get new ones
Just annoying really as I have worked so hard getting the car nice and for this to happen etc. I have taken pics, albeit in the dark, but will assess the damage tomorrow in daylight

Yeah, that's the place. They certainly know there stuff and very friendly in there. Even if you didn't get a service done there I would still recommend them if you needed anything else done

If you don't mind travelling, there is a Toyota specialist in Heybridge, called Greenwell's that might be able to do it for you, don't know how much they will cost but at least you know the car will be in good hands.

Maybe not that much then and the guy was exaggerating, but none the less, it was loud.

I was in my mates lightly modified Pug 306 when he got pulled for his exhaust.
Took 2 readings, the first one clocking 90/91db, at 3500rpm, the second clocking at 89db at 4000rpm. Got a £30 fine and asked to swap the exhaust. The cop was so determined to nick him, he didn't even notice that a numberplate light was out which he could of got a warning or something for. Just shows how narrow track minded cops are.
Quite a few of my other mates have got done for even louder exhausts, one clocking 150db!
The only thing was none of the japanese cars were pulled over for 'excessive noise'... seems weird really as then its quite unfair, though im not complaining

2 years this October
and still loving it! -
Not at all high milage. Mine has hit 105K and just and still a few bits and bobs to add to it
-
The number to call is 01621 850024. I found them very friendly and knowledgeable. They have several import readers, so will try each one to get the code.
-
I went to greenwells in Essex, they are really good, and charge reasonable. They also said if it doesn't read then they dont charge. I'll try and get you a number if your interested in going to them

I have the same problem with my JDM. When the 'LIFT' went in my car, and after the lift bolts were changed and it still didn't work, I tried many readers for it not too work. I then went to a toyota specialist who managed to successfully read the code with their import reader for £20.
Maybe go to a garage that specializes in Japanese import cars, as toyota usually use the british ODB readers which wont work. I hope this has been some help?

I have Apex on my Gen 7 and alot of people have them on their celicas
They are good, give the car a nice drop, and not too harsh on the ride, though you will feel the difference.

I have the LED running lights, but they are a thin strip that fits inbetween the headlight and bumper. The light comes out of the side of the stip. They are really discrete and smart looking
There was also no mention on the MOT about the lights.

My boyfriend loves my Gen 7.
He said if he had the money he would also buy one. When I told him that I was getting the Gen 7, he wasn't really convinced as he preferred the Gen 6, but i have converted him. Luckily for me he helps me with any mechanics needs for the car
