Got a mate of a mate of a mate to respray my front bumper a while back, took it off for him, paid upfront only for a 8 day turn around which resulted in orange peel finish and some bugs in the clear, which might I add was still soft when I drove an hour to pick it up... Lesson learnt

I noticed the other day that my old man, who's been using my car as a bit of a workhorse because it's bigger than his own car, has managed to chip and/or scratch the glass on TWO of my Defi gauges, and also scratched the top of my head unit on the frame above the display.

When I confronted him on it, he simply dismissed with an "It's alright..." and I said, "Umm, no it's NOT. If I did that to your car you'd have the shits. These are $400 gauges, you know I spent a big chunk of money on these." I slightly exaggerated the cost to try and make an impact, but I may as well not have bothered. :(

I'll have to get photos.

Just dropped my Stagea to get a RWC and a few marks on the panels touched up, thumbs up for panel shops that do RWC's. Hopefully comes through with not a lot of issues

Another horizontal dent with accompanying scratches has turned up on the left rear of my Stage, suspiciously at the same height as the garden edging beside the driveway. Oh well, resale value has been ruined by family over the past couple of years, I'll have to keep it and endow it with a bazillion killerwasps.

Dude that's sucks, hope you can rectify the damage done or at least make it look better in some way.

Nothing stays new/pristine for long thou, believe me I've tried. :/

Regards Jase. :wave:

Firstly the idiot is me.

Tried to install a mini hd media player via the aux port in the tv tuner.

Spent hours soldering plugs and power supply.

Managed to get good connections but the media player just didn't display with the screen.

Tried every resolution option but unsuccessful.

No sound either, just a fuzzy scrolling faint image.

So two weekends later, cut it all out, put everything back and still stuck with stock head unit playing cd's. :angry:
