[CU2] Oh god i scratched my car again

[furythree]

oh my god i just scratched my car...again...brand new cu2 only 2 weeks old ><!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this time its not a light graze against my rims...its a 7mm deep and 35cm long graze along the bottom, back, left side skirt. and you guessed it...it was that freakin kerb again!
this time i was at another car park. notorious for its tiny narrow ramps. i was going down a ramp. i even reversed to give myself more room. went down REALLLL slow and all of a sudden...a heart wrenching "BVVVVRRRRTTTT". i slammed the brakes. got out of the car and cried in disbelief as a huge graze was laid before me and a really thick layer of paint was shaved off like salami and dangling off the side of my car!
ARGHH!H!!Y(P*

heres some pics...

did someone say "Ouch"?

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/134/scratch1zb9.th.jpg (http://img8.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scratch1zb9.jpg)

*a little dog whimpers*


its alot worse than those pics indicate. allow me to demonstrate. please raise both ur pinkys infront of you, and then face the palms together.
now space them apart roughtly 40cms. thats my scratch length and depth and hieght at its worst end ><

sigh :(

does anyone know how much its gunna cost me to repair that? its REALLY deep towards the tire end.

my mum suggested i get this putty substance to fill in the deep scratches and this paint to match the car. since its the underside it wont be as bad. any idea where i can get that stuff? shud save me a fortune. i put my life savings into this car. its my first car :S

or does somebody know where i can get it fixed cheaply?

[simonnowis]

The newer hondas seem to have sideskirts which are apart of the body, my gf FD civic has similar damage and think they quoted 800-900ish to fix.

[timetorelax]

oh my god i just scratched my car...again...brand new cu2 only 2 weeks old ><!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel sorry for you mate.

I scratched my CU2 luxury's boot lid (2 20cm scratches down to the metal) on Friday 13th in January and I was feeling crappy with that. That cost me $330 to fix.

I would say that would cost about $800 - $1000. I wouldn't do anything yourself, let a body panel repairer do that.

[orion76]

does anybody know who would do small touch ups for small scratches and chips?

[J-TODA]

yeaaa.. u epic failed...

[furythree]

Yeh the side skirts are attached to the body all the way around the back.
but i thought that i had the optional side skirts installed. i thought they were seperate. or maybe i dont have them.


i was reading in another thread. somebody knew somewhere u can get scratches fixed cheaply. mines down to the metal. i really dont wanna spend $800 for a scratch. esp since its near the bottom of the car.

[power_of_dreams]

ouch, i feel your pain

[furythree]

actually looking at the pictures on the honda website i mite not have the optional side skirt set. which means if i get it, i can cover the scratches and pimp up my body kit!.kill 2 birds with one stone?

any idea waht the price is tho? lol

You don't have any side skirts.

Side skirts are $635.45 dealer cost price. They do come painted though, and it will cover the scratches.

woot problem solved lol


...except i just realised its actually DENTED!!!!

[aaronng]

Just cover up with scratches with touchup paint so it doesn't rust. THen get side skirts. Not much you can do with the dents. You can't pull them out.

[muzukashi]

shit that looks bad, hope the repair prices arnet 2 rough on ya

[nickxau]

Damn that must've felt like a knife to the heart~!

Dunno how good it is or how much it costs etc... but I saw at a dealer (PM me for details) that had a service where they can do minor touch ups for you. You can give them a call and see what they say if you wanna repair it.

[furythree]

where can i get touch up paint?
i remember most cars came with a small tub of paint. but i never got any.

Try at the dealers. They don't come with touch up paint.
My Toyota's did though...

[revolution]

Should be abround $20-$25 for the touch up. I walked past a CU2 with sideskirts this morning and by the looks of it, it should cover up all of that damage there nicely. As Aarong suggested, just make sure you touch up before installing the sideskirt to prevent rust.

[furythree]

yeh all my other cars came with it
this one didnt

will touch up fix REALLY deep scratches tho
it doesnt have to look correct in terms of colour. just fix the depth of the scratch
and how do they make it shiny?

would the dent affect the skirt? cause srsly its dented bad. if the skirt was originally vertical. id say a 30degree bend inwards has happened.

[Type R Positive]

and how do they make it shiny? Yeah, touch up paint is for really deep scratches! They make it shiny by blending it in. Leave to dry and cure, sand smooth with 2000 grit, then polish. I wouldn't bother too much if you are going to cover it, but I do know you want it looking the best. :thumbsup:


would the dent affect the skirt? cause srsly its dented bad. if the skirt was originally vertical. id say a 30degree bend inwards has happened. Don't take my word for it, but I think it wont. Side skirts are usually screwed on by the front and back, in the wheel arches, and double sided tape along the length. Not sure how the CU2 skirts are held on?
Panel shop might be able to do a crude job fixing the dent before putting on the side skirt.

[furythree]

thanks type r positive, uve made slightly more relieved lol


i have one last question.

when you guys say panel beaters, do u mean like any old smash repairs or car mechanic?
like is it a term generally referring to all mechanics, or specific term to ppl who repair body parts. and how do you tell who is a panel beater.
like do service station mechanics count?


and i think the cu2 skirts use tape by the looks of their deisgn lol

[Type R Positive]

panel beaters = smash repairs / paint shop. :thumbsup:

[furythree]

cool i think i noe a friend whos a smash repairer
thanks

yeh i reckon! its higher than my other cars that ive driven
my mum's car is lower and i scraped that too at the same carpark. except with hers it only nicked the underside. pretty much negligible. i think the kerb i scraped was extraordinary high or soemthing. plus my car was at an angle halfway down the ramp already, so it cudve been lowered in that respect.

it was the carpark next to Her majesty's thearter on Quay St Haymarket, sydney city

its bloody tiny. all my parking sensors go off just being inside there

[UNLS1]

Is this capitol carpark? If so yes it's VERY cramped inside there.

you got that from slamming the side of the skirt into the kerb?

just have to say learn to drive puahaha better.

just my recommendation don't park in that carpark or Her Majesty's carpark either both are phucked with ppl damaging your cars hit + run.

[furythree]

YEH THATS THE CURSED PLACE!

i only park there if i miss the earlybird parking at market city.
that day the early bird ended at 10am
and i got there at 10.05 am -_- sigh

IMHO if you miss the early bird at Market city I think it's still worth paying $25 for the full rate to park there rather than Capitol. Capitol is seriously one of the worst carparks I have seen.

The CU2 being so large doesn't help either. You may want to practice going in wide and turn into the corner later so you have as close of a 90 degree angle when making corners in there.

[Crapdaz]

Are you attending class @ UTS? or what work?

If you have a class for 2hrs then park down @ broadway shopping centre @ least you'll know you won't slam into ramps going up.

Btw how long have you had the car for?

[HunterZero]

So... let me get this straight. You're adding side skirts to cover the scrape, which then means you need the rest of the bodykit too or it won't look right. So you're now repairing the scrape by spending a whole lot of money to make the car even more likely to get scraped again.

Madness.

yeh i started parking at broadway now and catch the bus down.
up until now ive been walking and training everywhere, so broadway seemed really far to me, so ive had that mentality "omg no way im parking so far away" no i realise broadway is closer than i thought.

still if i knew that was gunna happen that day, wudve paid the full $25...actually wats worse is that the majestys carpark at the other end of the street was the same price that day, i just cbb driving a further 25m down lol

bought it mid feb
first 1000km service tommorrow morning

..oh...crap, didnt think of that



..wait, rest of body kit? mine already has the aero front bar with fog lights, and judging from pictures, the rear ass bar too.

[HunterZero]

Doesn't look like your car has the aero bar front or back, or even the front lip kit. Standard bar comes with fog lights on the lux. You'd know if you had the lip kit, there are 2 more vents *below* the foglights. The Aero bars look quite different to the standard bars.

Looks like you just have the rear wing.

Are you a freshman? 1st yr uni student straight from high school?
What course are you doing?

[furythree]

lol i think the decal thread wouldve given away the fact that im 21 and probably 3rd year by now :P
im doing commerce, almost graduated. Believe it or not i did mechatronic and biomedical engineering for the first year, cause i thought it was interesting (thats probably why i also got into cars so easily, i like all the gadgetry and tech stuff). but i didnt learn enuff to get much practical knowledge, so still a noob when it comes to mechanical stuff. just learnt physics really. i think the only thing i took out of one year of engineering, was how a 2 stroke engine works..vaguely lol.
then i gave in to asian pressure and did commerce. =)
your still in uni right. what do you do

Hunterzero, ive got the fog lights tho, i wasnt paying attention, but my dealer was saying how they were doing something special for that period, and all the euros were coming with the kits, (excl side skirts) front lip and fog lights (fog lights have to be installed if you get that front bar, according to the website as well) ALL AS STANDARD parts
i really think the options fotos look the same as what i have on my car.


btw i brought my car back from servicing, as expected they cudnt do anything about the scratch, but the cheapasses charged me $25 for a vial of paint and they painted the scratch so it looks a WHOOOOLe lot better now. the guys there are really reallly friendly...but tightasses. they did give me 2 stickers tho lol.

if their serivce department and sales department weren't literally physically seperated, then id probably pester the sales guy to give it to me for free. instead of asking the mechanic

Doing it Part time though so i have many years to go.

[furythree]

oh right, no wonder you know so much about cars. would make sense wouldnt it lol
what do you do to raise money to do mods?
up until now i didnt noe parts cost so much. and a part time job disturbs my studies. i know for part time uni students you guys should have heaps more spare time. even tho engineering is a full 24hr load

[Crapdaz]

nah only cause i stuffed around with my car to know some stuff not much still compared to others.

i work full time and study part time (12CP - 2 subjects).

Parts costs so much because of the Ozzie dollar sucking (economical crisis).

Part time students depending who your referring to; my mates who are part time only revert to that during that final year to gain exp in the industries and have secure jobs when they graduate.

The ones you consider having alot of time don't bother looking for jobs until after graduation.

"even tho engineering is a full 24hr load" not sure on what you mean by 24hr load unless you mean you have to spend 24-7 studying.

[furythree]

oh when i was doing engineering full time
5 days a week
monday to wed it was like a 9-6
thursday 4 hours at tafe for hands on skills training
a long break and some classes till 8
some random tutorials on friday

like 24 hrs a week. and then u gotta do hw, then i worked on weekends. fkn tiring.
now that i do commerce its like, i go to uni twice a week for half a day lol. and this is full time

but unlike u my hobby was initially computers, i fully started reading up on forums for the latest tech. new stuff comes out every few months now. and playing around with comps. then i got a job as a computer salesgeek. and realised i had a bit of calling for it. which accelerated my income to let me afford the euro faster. ive been "not rostered" for over a month now thanks to the economy tho.

something actually ontopic this time..lol

um i noticed this small but REALLY noticeable stone chip on the very tip of my bonnet! ><!!!!
i painted over it with some of the touchup paint i got from the dealer. but up close u can still notice like a hole. wud that be able to be buffed out?
the dealer did say something like "that scratch is too big for us to handle here" when talking about my side skirts. well the stone chip is tiny, what kinda things are the mechanics at the dealer able to do, when i send the car in for service next time? and would it be free? they seemed nice lol. i TOTALLLY did not expect to fully wash my car

No, you cannot buff it out.

There are techniques to make it less noticeable, but it will never be possible to make the chip completely disappear with touch-up paint on clear coated metallic paint, and it will be even harder if it's on the edge of the bonnet.

What you've just done is brush-touched raw metallic paint, over the clear coated paint on the car.


well the stone chip is tiny, what kinda things are the mechanics at the dealer able to do, when i send the car in for service next time? and would it be free? they seemed nice lol. i TOTALLLY did not expect to fully wash my car

Mechanics aren't paint technicians. They won't have the equipment or expertise in their service center to do this, and they definitely wouldn't do it for free since it's 'wear and tear'. They will just refer you to their body shop.

Take it to a reputable body shop for advice if it worries you, but stone chips are unfortunately a fact of life. It might be possible to do a better spot repair, but it's most probable the only way to completely restore the bonnet is to respray the whole bonnet at your expense.

Or, if you take lots of trips outside the city, invest in a car bra.

[Crapdaz]

As HZ said, stonechips aren't done by any mechanic or service dept.

go to stone chip or smash repair guys to deal with them....

[HunterZero]

Oh, and if you let the dealer wash your car, you can be sure it's done quickly without much care with the same sponges and rags they use on everyones' cars, this may account for some of the fine scratches you are seeing appearing on your paint. I give specific instructions for them NOT to wash my car.

me too, it's just asking for disaster.

[furythree]

thanks for the advice guys. i think im gunna wait till i notice more damage, then just fix everything in one go. cause ive only had it for like one month, and all this damage occurs. fixing it bit by bit is gunna be costly. and its kinda like a fact of life that cars will eventually get some bit of damage etc. so yeh mite do it later on. but as for a car bra....i just dont have the heart to humiliate my car anymore my stickers have already lol

and i decided not the get the side skirts because the touch up paint. even tho it was really dodgy, u cant notice the scratches anymore, unless u knew it was there and purposely bent down to look. the dark colouring makes the dent harder to notice as well. its not like u can see both sides and compare anyway lol.



btw vtecaccord, that "guidetodetailing.com" website was pretty good. even tho u didnt intentionally post it lol

[Crapdaz]

stone chips are inevitable;

you can't not have them and you can't avoid them.
only can reduce them from happening.

I am guessing you drive to lots of roads with pebbles and tarmac with loose gravels on the road.

Car bra's are good if you do alot of long distance driving;

Solution: If your stone chips have gone down to baremetal i recommend getting it fixed ASAP as leaving it untreated will cause it to rust and then you will need to pay more money to get the rust cut off and retreated; then painted after.

[HunterZero]

Agreed, stone chips left neglected can turn into rust, = $$$$. Covering them with touch-up paint is a good start.

Welcome to the joys of the expense of car ownership. Hope you didn't expect the expense to end after you picked up the car.

And do some googling on car bras - you might be surprised.

anyone got this done before? just wonder how it looks

[HunterZero]

I've seen it on a few Ferraris. How noticeable it is depends on the colour of your car. If your car is black or very dark, the areas that are covered will look ever so slightly lighter/hazy.

On any other colour, it's very difficult to tell it's even on, unless you're right next to the car. If you didn't know it was there, you probably would not notice. You'll see a faint line on the edge, and a slight difference in the sheen of the car bra as it's a bit less shiny.

I did think about getting just the bottom inch or so of my front bumper done, to avoid scuffs.

that invisble car bra is pertty cool, ccudnt even see it in the pictures.nd the price is worth it.

[denot]

Guys, with the invi car bra, what happened if there's stone chip stuck on it? do we need to replace the whole bra?

[HunterZero]

The invisible car bras are usually applied in a few pieces, so I'd imagine that you would just have that affected piece replaced.

The stuff they are made from is amazingly tough, though.

- HZ

[Crapdaz]

it normally doesn't cover the hole bonnet, so i've seen half way up but depends on the company.

[HunterZero]

Yes, typically only goes 30-50cm up the bonnet.

You can get your wing mirrors done and the leading edge of the roof done too.

Is is pretty tough,the most i've got is a few very small nicks from large rocks,just on the surface,it hasn't gone through the material.This is the 2nd.car i've had this stuff applied on.:thumbsup:.Waaaay better than the crap OEM bonnet and headlight protectors that Honda sell.

[denot]

quick question for ppl who used it before... is it easy to take off? like how do you wash/wax/polish/sealant the car, with the clear bra on? do you just ignore the bits with the bra or do you take the bra off before you clean the car?

Q1.You don't take it off.
Q2.I just polish straight over it.
Q3.Same as Q1.

is it soft like contact that u use to cover books or lcd screen covers etc? or is a hard casing.
lol u cud just order huge quantities of sheets from these guys

and do it yourself to save money :thumbsup: haha

[Crapdaz]

denot - it's just similiar to vinyls, where vinyls are the same colour or contrast colours and you wax/wash/polish over it.

The only way to remove is heatgun and peel off and then washing and removing the glue later on.

furythree - goodluck in doing a good job yourself on it without bubbling i reckon :p

Thanks mate... its all look good then... the only problem that I'm scared of is, like you sed, if they deliver it from victoria (their head office) then it means I need to apply the bra myself? :( bubbling FTL...

[Crapdaz]

depends if you get them in small sheets per panel just make sure you have hairdryer to help you apply so the heat makes it more flexible and get a squeegee to apply it.
