      Yeah, they did actually. One of the things that was checked was that they were undamaged - and they were.

        What battery you go with thekraut? How much?
        Just got a Supercharge one from the local Auto Pro - was around the $150 mark from memory.

          • More like "What someone else did to my MK4 today"... I was driving home last night along Centre Rd in Bentleigh and someone was kind enough to throw something at my car! I suspect it was a can considering the people appeared to be drinking on the street. I pulled over to find a small golf ball/hail sized dent on my bonnet with 4 deep scratches to go along with it.

            I was going to drive back as there were only two of the summy c***s but I saw 3 other unsavoury characters join their group. I decided it would be best to just call the police. The people were long gone when the police arrived so they just took photos of the damage and they're going to send a report in the mail.

            Anyway, my insurance excess is high so can anyone recommend a good place to get the dent pulled out and respray?

            • Today I bought some auto glym bodywork shampoo conditioner some ultra deep shine and some glass cleaner. Will be a busy morning of cleaning tomorrow. Also finished colour coding my valance - did the front today.
              Also lithium greased the brackets that hold the rear seats in as they creak like a boat.
              Hopefully that'll fix that!

              • well today i washed my car with the above autoglym products and also polished it.. looks great now.
                also if anybody is met with a creaking back end grease the brackets on the back of the seats! mine does not creak one bit after doing this.. i was really worried about it being the suspension but a little grease totally eliminated the noise!

                  interesting, everyone seems to have creaking in the back, what brackets do you mean, the hinges?

                    Also, with your backseats, ummm... what kind of punishment have they been taking so they got to the stage of squeaking?

                      geez, our Mk4 dont have a lot of room in the back, so i guess a pilate's or yoga instructor may be involved!

                      • Currently waiting for up to two hours (called just after midnight, stuck in Chatswood on my way home from work) for a tow-truck.

                        The left-rear damper has come loose completely from its lower attachment point, and is now dragging on the ground (and its attachment point was also hanging dangerously low).

                        I didn't hit anything big, just came around a corner and there was a clanging sound like something metal hitting the road. Thought maybe I'd flicked up a wheel weight or something similar off the road surface, but continued slowly, until it came again. Got out and checked, and sure enough there it was. Will upload a photo later.

                        To say I'm unhappy about it (given someone worked on the car to replace the suspension just on two weeks ago) would be a gross understatement...

                            Considered getting a set of roof-racks and the associated bike-carrying bits?

                              • Booked my bora in for a quick polish and got some input in painting various panels
                                loaded the car up with 5 full grown guys and surfing gear on saturday (wasnt planned...), just wished i could have got a photo, SOOOOOO low.
                                fitted up the roof racks minus the ski holder. makes a bit of noise around 80km/h but is ok.
