Hi everyone,

Any Gen-F HSV owners out there with the same issue? HSV say they have seen a few like this. Apparently the guys at HSV sometimes push the tail light on too hard.

What has everyone done for repairs? I don't want to paint the whole quarter. It is a brand new car after all.

Cheers

Yeah, they are happy to pay for it... But I just want a simple solution, not a whole panel painted. Looking at what other people have done to fix it.

I just bought the car, and don't want have panels repainted already.

There is no simple solution if you want the job done properly...

Looks like it's right in the crevice? I'd get it professionally touched up, you'll never notice it. No way I'd have a panel resprayed for that, unless you respray the entire side of the car you'll always notice one panel is slightly different.

I've had to have the clips holding the bumper replaced as they're a known issue for popping and causing the panel gaps to widen/contract. I wonder if yours are in properly as it might have caused that damage.
