Default Damn Bodykit :(

So I'm still getting used to parking my AU, and because its lower at the front than what I've ever been used to driving, I parked it facing the gutter and scraped all the paint off underneath the front of my kit :(

Minor cosmetic damages, which can wait a while to be fixed.

Until.... reversing off the gutter. Broke a couple of clips on the passenger side and put a small crack in it on the side just under where the indicator gets to its triangular point. Anything over 60k's an hour and the bit that connects it to the underneath wheel arch blows back, rubbing against my tyre.

When I first inspected the car it had a similar crack on the back of the bodykit, which I requested be fixed before I took delivery. A great job was done on it, you can hardly tell its there (edit: that's a lie, you can't tell there was a crack there at all). By luck I have the name of the place that the dealership used to fix it, so hopefully it won't cost me too much more than a couple of hundred bucks to get this one fixed up. I can hold off getting the underside resprayed for now, but I just want it not looking dodgy with a crack and out of alignment anymore! Plus I value my tyre, I don't want all the rubber taken off by that guard thinggy.

That's my vent for the night.
