Shhiiittt not good was it the courier or supplier who damaged it?

My cold air intake just not sure how to route it was thinkin remove the foglight and run it up thru the wing where the resonator box used to be and pop it out of the hole for the original airbox?

Big ouch for sure although ive just been to rcautos in warrington and he had quoted me £300 to fix the damageand sort a few small dints out plus give her a machine polish so she is booked in for the 16th may

Haha nope altho I still park there and ive put a tyre around the post Sounds like we both need to pay attention

I parked up next to a small concrete post wall and went to drive off and turned the wheel too soon just not concentrating

Ooooo maan I'm in Manchester r they expensive?

Bloody ek sounds like a lucky escape there but well worth it for the awesome scenery Cheers ive still got a bit to do in it yet but it will get there, do we have any one on here that sprays panels? It's not metallic just normal black... Hey thanx I shall give that a try on Saturday take out all the back seats so ive got full access what type of hammer I.e rubber? Plastic or just a big fookin hammer lol?

Hmm u sure?

Hahaha I bet there never noticed :/ Yeh I was thinking that just got to be careful and then get it smoothed n sanded then sprayed... Ahem dub just no need for that I don't even let my sister drive her

It's hard to get to with the angle it's on but I was thinking of like a spreading tool with small pieces of wood like the tool used to push caliper pistons back? Thaaanx dub there is lots of access to the panel thankfully...

Ok I did this at slow speed on a concrete post outside my house....the top of the dint ive pushed out, the bottom near the sill is accessible but when u pop it out it goes back in again...it made me cry when I did it ( Ok and here is after my repair attempt with the correct colour paint and several layers of wax.. U can make out the bottom dint but the top ones can be sorted... Very sad morning on Friday

Hey Ben thanx for that but I think its a fair drive but on the plus side check out the Twitter celica feed as ive posted some before and after my fix pictures I'm quite proud of myself. It's faar from perfect but looks ten times better just got to put some more paint on the sill where the paint was completely gon and she is temporarily fixed till the dent man at work can de dent her then get the spray guys to paint her and sorted oo and thanx aswel maizey some very useful info I got all disheartened when it happened and had planned to break her when the mot was up but after my fix I had lots of hope and am happy now ))

Oo cool cheers Ben that would be ace

Hey Ben...I'm in irlam in Manchester...I hope she can be fixed as my insurance won't pay and my excess is £600 it was the only option to get it cheap Cheers. Steve I don't seem to be able to upload pics off my phone :/ do I need to be on a computer? Cheers.

I wish I was closer but how much are we talking roughly as im not too flush at the mo :/ thanx for the info tho I'm absolutely gutted I had her looking immaculate and now just feels like its all gon to pot. She has black rear lights and front indicators, 17in black n shiny rims gen 7 front seat and leather rear seats a quick release steering wheel and short jdm boss....she is mot'd for another 11.5 month's so if not fixable I guess I can sell the mods and use her till thats up :/

Hi guys ive been a lurker for since august then signed up last week..ive got an ss1 is black with a few cosmetic mods but this morning I scraped a concrete post at slow moving off speed and did this if she isn't fixable then she will have to go I cant post a pic yet but there is lots of scrapes down to the metal and a hefty push/dint on the nr side quarter nearest the door.
