Silent at standard level
Default Left side fenders

First of all i must say their are some sad fuckers in this world that find joy in smashing somebody elses car simply becuase they cant afford it.
.
Today i went to winthrop to visit a mate, then soon after went to eat dinner and parked my car at winthrop IGA to eat at some asian take-away place, i came back to find my car smashed on the left side. its got a huge dent that sinks in and the front bumper has been busted, and the bonnet doesnt close as good as it should. the left indicator like reflector also smashed. For a fact i know it was not me, because if it was me, for the impact it had i would have noticed it and felt it. Now im in search of left fender and front bumper fix up, was wondering if anybody could help me out with it, maybe wreckers to source out a fender and a panal beater to fix the bumper.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

yeah its an 2002 bug eye.. today just was a bad day.. and this tops it off to have some sad wankers do this, ohhh alright thanks for that mate i'l go check that place out. i was thinking of just buying a new left side fender and getting it resprayed, and then panal beater to fix up the bumper and fit it all.. rather then dropping my car off.

is that alright, or is there any better suggestions, just to get the whole fixing up procedure quicker and less hassle

Hope she all gets sorted ok

Any IGA is dodgy - Coons hang out there.

The one i go to, they hang around and try to wash your windows for a dolla bro.

Especially if Thodd is working there, they come to visit him for a communal wash with the fruit & veg before consumer purchase!

Hey Guys, this is my first post on here im usually on the MRT forum. Sorry to hear about the car...just a few months ago some prick reversed into me left hand side fender and didnt leave a note...the passenger door wouldnt open so i had to do some panel beating myself.

Anyway long story short i needed a new left hand fender also. I just picked one up on Friday from Japanese Wholesale Spares up in Wangara (9302 3519) they have 1 left for $130 in blue. I couldnt find one anywhere else. Should be in great condition. The one i got is.
