Shit thats no good! How did it get written off, you both ok?

Tried to upload photos but im doing something wrong, I have it being assessed at McCarthy Car craft tomorrow there preferred Subaru repairers and i've herd great things about them.

The front bar, lip, Bottom strut brace will have to be replaced and part of the exhaust got squashed right next to it too. I was guttered! I've babied the car since i bought it, about to get new slotted rotors and tyres for it too then this happened. Its all fixable but just heart breaking when stuff like this happens.

Well after all this time i finally got my car back, Good new is the damage was only minor New bumper bar front lip H brace and exhaust piece with some small dent work on the floor pan.
Car is looking sweet.

Bad news is the guys who repaired some gutter rash on my wheels have Far*ked up good and proper.
Not only have they sprayed them the wrong colour they didn't even bother to call me to confirm anything or even try to match the colour they were!!.
You'd think they'd match up the paint to one wheel, then spray one wheel to see if it matches???? Then spray all four. But instead they just though ah this colour will do he wont notice!!! yeah right!.
So phoned up ROH to get the paint code but they said they don't do gold rims any more and PPG can no longer get the paint.
Long story, short the rims will never be the same........................... Can't match a colour that has been painted over. Back to the drawing board to find a new gold.

Does anyone know the paint code for the Advan RS Gold rims???

Don't accept/pay for it until they get it right. Matching paint colours reasonably can't be that difficult....
Talk to Wheels World about the colour...

Base + tints??? Not fucking hard. Dumbasses at Bunnings can do it for a house so a qualified spraypainter should be able to match it piece of cheese.

Or bite the bullet and just get them powder coated in gunmetal. So much porn.

Thanks Guys,
Yeah good to have her back!

But after getting it home and having a closer look the bar hasn't been fitted properly and there are a few spots that look like its only had 1 coat of paint only around the inside of the bar but still... either so going to see the bone head insurance company today. What sh*ts me off the most is i have an approved repairer and the insurance company gave me a whole lot of babble about the quality there repairers........ and they choose the repairer... Will see how it goes today
