damage

I've scraped a high kerb and almost annihilated that bit. Wondering what it would be called to see if I can fix it myself. There's no damage on the door itself. Thanks

Hi all, Clipped my wing mirror on the side of a lorry the other day, barely damaged him of course but my wing mirror is bent out of shape with a shattered cover. I'm looking at purchasing a new wing mirror to be fitted by a local garage, however, I am struggling to confirm I have the right...

Hi all, My new (to me) 2017 Leon ST has a little bit of damage on the climate control panel, on the edges of the black plastic that surrounds the temperature displays. Seems to be quite a common issue as there are loads on eBay with the same issue. I'm looking at getting a replacement and...

Hi guys I hope you are all well. Long story shot I managed to catch the front plastic bumper of my Cupra ST 300 on a very thin tree that I neglected to notice while reversing. This wee tree caught against my bumper and scratched it and pulled it away from the car a little (luckily no metal was...

Hi all, Any idea how the below could have happened. I noticed it after cleaning my car interior but a few hours after. I only use designated interior wipes and micro fibre cloth to clean the area. It looks cracked but doesn't feel that way. Its on both sides. :( Any advice - anyone know if...

Hi all, So, my weekend hasn't been the best. Saturday evening noticed my Cupra had been hit on the rear bumper. Checked through CCTV and it was Corsa D that had hit it and drove away :censored:. Luckily the damage is only cosmetic, paint chipped plus some light scratches. Unfortunately, the...

This is why we can't have nice things... Brighton is full of a-holes - I've never had so much damage on my car. From scrapes on bumpers to people hitting the driver's side while turning in the road. This is the latest. Someone drove into the back while the car was parked, splitting the bumper...

Driving home from work this afternoon, noticed a strange smell from inside the car. Didn't think much of it as I'd just passed a team laying fresh tarmac. Got home and parked up not thinking much of it. About half an hour later, the wife came in saying the car was making a funny noise??? Went...

I was washing the car yesterday and when cleaning the arches I noticed the passenger side rear trim has got a really big split. I looks like the bit where the mud flap would be fitted. Now, I can't say how and when this has happened but I'm just curious if this is covered under warranty...

This dealer offer a 2 year warranty on any work done, and as the paint job on the new rear bumper (insurance job) was: 1) not the right colour, and 2) covered in 'orange peel', I got them to do it again which they were happy to do, and they sent the car back off to the bodyshop. I went to...

Ive got some damage on my boot as you can see from the picture(if the link works)... I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to fix it, and what i would need to do it, like what fillers, primers and paints etc. and the best ways to do it. The red circle is a small dent, and the green...

This is what happened when I hit a pot-hole at 55 to 60mph on a dark country lane at 11.30pm last night! Absolutely gutted as I'm assuming new wheel, new tyre and wheel alignment, just hoping the suspensions all well and good, though felt as it should when driving on the spare the rest of the...

My V5 has started to get a misfire. The obvious choice was to change the ignition coil pack (£130) but unfortunately this has not worked. The next obvious choice is the Ignition control module. Seat want £266 +VAT (robbing gits) but I have managed to source a generic version for £95. The only...

Hi guys I have just bought a 2nd hand intercooler and pipe work but some of the fins are crushed at the top Is there a way to check the intercooler will function right? Thanks

Am I being paranoid..... Beginning of December, I had a small accident with a pothole, damaged a front tyre, and a rear wheel.... but having had the tyre replaced, and the car checked out, all seemed OK.... Last week, Wednesday, I took the old dear shopping, as we go out of the village...

i started to fill the fluids day before yestoday and put a milk bottle full of water in which is 2.27 litres, never got round to topping the rest up and forgot till tonight, any chances of damage or will it be ok? Ive just poured 1.5 litres of G12 in and squeezed the bottom hose and it was kinda...

Hi guys, Looking for some real expert advice or at least someone who knows a bit about paintwork on the next course of action. Last week the car was vandalised probably by a ball bearing smashing two windows. I would have been less pissed off except one of the pellet's dented the paintwork...

Yesterday I went through a flood about 1 foot deep because there was no other way to get from where I was visiting. Got through the flood perfectly fine but then about 15 yards down the road the engine just died. Managed to get her started again after about 30 mins and a lot of smoke was...
