Well my new GTR survived 16 days and 570km until being damaged.

We left it parked defensively in a quiet carpark for one hour while we had dinner, of course no note left...

I hate some things about human nature!

Thankfully there are 2011 bumpers in Australia at the moment.

If it wasn't a car, that's quite a whack!

Reminds me of receiving my brand new 240K in '77. I drove out to see a friend at his chemist. Out in the carpark, my bonnet received a case of fruit. Car was 2 hours old!

I will have to pay the insurance excess of up to $800.

SGIO have been great I must admit, especially considering insurance is very reasonable at $1600 a year.

Do they allow your choice of repairer or do they want you to use theirs (like AAMI)?

that sucks mate. I can't stand arseholes who damage peoples cars and then act like they didn't notice and just drive off. I would want someone to leave me a note just as I would leave a note if I damaged someone else's car. It's not a big bloody deal. just the right thing to do if you damage someone else's property. even more so if it's a nice car which usually belongs to an enthusiast who takes pride in his/her car.

I do... You mean like this???

I have a camera set up at work that points directly onto my carpark. I have two parking spots and I park directly in the centre. I am certain it pisses people off but I paid for them so I can do what I want with them as far as I am concerned. I should take a screen capture.

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
