Hey all

I have a 6 month old toyota fortuner GXL model. Taken her to the beach 2 times with a massive water clean that afternoon and the next day. We do live on the coast. I noticed this under my car in the rear yesterday. My old man says likely not covered by warrenty. Am i best to sand it back and apply a hearty product? Will toyota be interested in sorting this out. Car 6 months old.

cheers :)

the picture is too big so i can't see it clearly, is it crack or just gutter rash?

woah whoops didnt realise it was so big when i clicked on it, added new image :) ps not cracked at all just gutter rash. Was thinking of taking skirt off and sanding it back lightly and putting new paint and gloss on it ??

i used to get his for my handbrake(old car), even if i lowered it down there was a problem with the electrical wiring and it kept thinking it was up but it wasn't.

Good evening lads, please check out the pic just want some advice on gutter rash on side skirts, my dad is good with remoulding and fibreglass is this a job for a handy man or gunna cost me some cash?

Would rather the cheapest option.

thanks all

Na 1800 for all door handles wing, part of the boot above boot hinge, and one side mirror.. However I can pay that I can't afford it... Then the peeling begin! Lol

well for labour for taking all the parts off and stripping back pain and re-spray and re-gloss a mate who did a dinted panel for very cheap and it will cost me roughly 1800

Thanks guys!

I had a quote for resprayed and it was a lot!!

Can't say in an accdient as it is only different parts all over the car.

Firstly hello everyone! Been a while since i have logged on been so busy with personal stuff in my life lately.

Here is my problem and i hope some experienced sportivo owners or toyota owners can help me out.

I own a 2003 corolla sportivo. I have noticed i have gloss peeling on certain parts of my car, on my wing, side mirrors, door handles, basically my plastics.

I have attached some pictures. I have been to a smash repairer who said this is not wear and tear but a defect in the gloss job. I contacted toyota who said it is out if warranty (obviously) and they cannot help me out. I would like to know does anyone here every had this issue. The car is kept clean, not garaged but also not put into situations that can damage my paint.

Thanks all

I am having trouble upload pictures on here so just going to post direct links hope that does not break the rules.. sorry!

I wanna saw off my existing tip and weld on a clean stainless steel one.. Had no welding experience I had a local exhaust did say he would do it for 200 but I thought I might give it a go myself.. Am I over my head?

Cheers lads

Anyone having problems, it seems impossible to prevent them I found 5 the other day either on bonnet or lower body kit! Rant!!!!

Was it easy to replace on ya own?

:)

How much did u pay at liverpool exhaust all up for that to be done?

hey all

I got my car recently serviced just the basics for 140,000. The prob is when i start up, somtimes i have to give it a second go, like it does kick over within 3-5 seconds but it is usually instant. What could this be? Toyota who serviced my car said everything looks sweet

I got defected with the cannon that came with my 03 sportivo. I went to wreckers and found a toyota 03 exhaust but not a sportivo one. I just brought it for $50 bucks and chucked it on. I looks ugly lol how much am i looking at to buy a new muffler and tip and the piping that connects to the exhaust under the axle?

Ur talking bout the plastic covering yeah?
