[tomaky]

Is that weld in the second picture?

[tony=m=]

it looks and feels like silicone  s:( s:(

[StuC]

Looks like it might be a dodgy wing, can you check out the above?

[tomaky]

Its not the hardest thing in the world to remove to get a better view might be a option for you?

[tony=m=]

looks like you might be right stu  s:) s:)  dodgy or badly fitted wing.

remove what the wing???

[AckersMR2]

There is a small crack in the paint there in that 2nd pic which is beginning to rust? I'd say that wings been off for some reason?

[tomaky]

Yes the wing, would possibly explain why the wings of of whack.

drivers side

That gap towards the rear of driver wing ust in front of the tail lamp looks snug. I still think some rotation of the decklid has been introduced somewhere. Especially when coupled with the mismatch between the bumper and the drivers tail lamp.

That passengers wing deffo needs to be revisited.

[tony=m=]

Can someone post a pic of there's so i can compare please ?

[StuC]

If I remember when I get to my car I will.  s8) s8)

[tony=m=]

Cheers  s:) s:)  do you think it's worth a visit to my local toyota place to see what they think?

[StuC]

You are probably better meeting up with some local owners to compare and contrast!  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

[StuC]

BTW - There might be a rear wing for sale here  s;-) ;-) s;-)

If indeed you need a new one.  s8) s8)

[tony=m=]

Do fl  wings etc fit pfl ? Wondering if they fitted a fl back quarter panel ? might explain the poor fit ?

[parker455]

I'd personally say that the passenger side has had a whack, can you see where it looks as though it's been crimped at some point? Rear bumper has had paint too at some point.

Def is  spiss piss spiss ed though.

[tony=m=]

Yup it is fooked  :-) :-) :-)  yeah im leaning towards it having a crash at some point in it's life  s:-( :-( s:-(  although i can't find any signs of one apart from the obvious panels being misaligned(spell ) on pass side .
 no records of any crashes or damage on the hpi check  when i bought it last year , and the last owner had it 8 years and said he had no crashes he could be lying though and just not declared it.

[mrzwei]

Personally, I'd get a local 'smart' repair or small repair / paint shop to quote you to realign the panels, they have to do it all of the time.
You should at least come away with an informed opinion of the cause, even if you don't buy the result.

[parker455]

Paint peeling on the rear bumper in the vent too I've just noticed. I think it's had a rear ender which has pushed the panel out. Can see by the crimping on the paint. Panel alignment isn't too difficult at all, can def do it yourself!

[Alex Knight]

So it probably wasn't the garage, right? Looks like this was previous damage/poor fitment?

[tony=m=]

Yeah looking like it was not the garage , strange that i notice the gaps after it come back from the garage , I've had it since last October and i wash , Hoover and polish it weekly and have never seen it.
as soon as i got home it just stood out , maybe its because i was looking for flaws after they didn't tightnen the wheel nuts last time i was there  :-) :-) :-)

[Alex Knight]

Can't believe you went back to a garage that left your wheel nuts loose!   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
