Yep, it is the foglight surround, which is 1 panel, relatively small dent, but visible because my car is black and the curb turned it white. Wow thats quite expensive, $200 just for the panel. My car's getting recall work done (rear lights) on Wednesday, so I may get a quote off them, just thought I'd get an indication of rough prices here first before I asked.

Just been having massive rains lately in Sydney, heavy rains one morning on the way to work, I bumped a curb slightly in an awkward turn in Mosman (f*kn attrocious roads). Upon inspection there's a 7cm diameter dent on the panel which encapsulates the fog lights. The panel above (wheel arch) popped out slightly but I managed to push the clips back in. I couldn't find anything on Search, but has this happened to anyone else? Could anyone give a clue as to how much it would cost to replace that plastic panel? Would $300 suffice?

If the car is less then 3 years old it should still have "Bumper to Bumper, New Car Warranty" (even if you bought it second hand) I dont think those rear vents are cheap im guessing between $70-$100. On the other hand, if everything goes well you should be able to get the vents and Seat issues fixed for free :) Let us know how you go..... wow $100 for a piece of plastic lol, if it comes to that think I'll just buy the $5 part and fit it myself =S Ye the vehicle is only 11 months old atm, will keep you guys updated :]

LOL I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. After a few months of happy driving, my Aurion has a really annoying squeak on the left side of the drivers seat. Every bump, hump, turn and it'll go off, pretty much even wen I move a bit in my seat. So annoying, going to take it to Toyota to have a look.

Yeh hopefully man, even if not, wouldn't cost much to replace. I bought the car 2nd hand, had it for a few months now, some small issues arising so going to my local dealership to see if they're willing to help with warranty issues, and I'd get my capped servicing with them in future if they're helpful. Just lately, I've had a really annoying creak from the left side of the drivers seat. Really annoying as any bump or turn will set it off like a creaking door, not sure if its the rails underneath the seat or the seat springs, gonna have Toyota have a look at that too.

lol thnx! I feel brain dead after all the pre-exam cramming.

Hey guys, I was wondering what the plastic splitter things you use to control the direction of air-flow are called? One of the knobs which controls the horizontal direction of air flow has fallen off and I'm going to see if Toyota will replace it under warranty. Here's an image to clarify:

I spent most of my time on Carsales when searching for a 2nd hand vehicle to purchase and I found it considerably better than newspaper options and superior to most other sites so I would advocate advertising on Carsales. The layout is more user friendly, with photos and car specs as well as seller comments and easy access to seller details. If you price your vehicle competitively, it will sell very fast!

This has nothing to do with John Brumby. It's the local councils who are responsible for road maintenance. That's not entirely true. It would depend on the road hierarchy, whether it's an arterial, sub-arterial, collector or local road. However in this case, I think it most probable that it wasn't a state road.

Base model, new IS350 is $64k. With 233kW and 378Nm of torque it's like an Aurion with direct injection and rear wheel drive *drool*, almost as powerful on paper as the Aurion TRD, but apparently faster from what journalists are saying.

Are you talking about the Toyota Camry (XV20)? Isn't that the 4th gen Camry as the 5th gen wasn't out until 2001/

hmm I learnt to drive on my mum's 5th gen Camry V6 and drove it for half a year on my red P's before I got my own car. I've always found it to be like a rock, acceleration was really slow, and you had to use some force on the gas pedal for it to move with any urgency, I don't see how you can hoon around in it lol, despite being V6 (unless extensive mods were made). My current Aurion SX6 on the other hand goes much faster from a standstill haha, the gas pedal is so much softer compared to the gen 5 Camry and wants to be floored. Even though the Aurion has a lot of power at hand, I try to drive as responsibly as possible as I'm still on my red P's and my work necessitates me having my own transport, as well as setting a good example for younger siblings soon to get their licence. I do understand the concern to try and minimise the chances for your brother to hoon around, you would know your brother better than your parents lol and I think you have nothing to worry about with the V6 Camry, its really too big/heavy and not powerful enough to do considerable damage.

Wouldn't the pillar coming off impede the proper working of it in an emergency? Definitely don't take no for an answer, unless they can confidently say that it's "meant to be like this" (which it isn't) then they should fix it as it's still under warranty.

Lexus IS350! If only my Aurion could do 0-100km/hr in 5.6s!
