It’s almost impossible to see in pictures, but this rear door with the broken handle is streaked with clear coat scratches...
This tail light’s plastic is actually cracked...

Looks pretty good to me. It’s got a lot of character!

It looks worse in person.

Those are some nice battle scars, but nothing too serious. Most of it will be resolved with a basic re-spray.

Is this from the typhoon or existing damage?

I’ll get you the infos of the DIY garage I go to in Nagoya, but have you tried SELFIT in Kawaguchi first?

Seems like it’s exactly what you would need, exactly at the right place... no?

Existing.

Which is apparently hideously expensive...

So I would say, replace a door handle and taillight lens and let the battle scars shine. Unless of course you just want to spend the hidoeus amount of money.

I’m in talks with a body shop to do just the areas that need attention and nothing else.

Is this all from the recent typhoon?
Nevermind I saw the same question below. How did this happen, especially the left side?

well those clear coat scratches are just a compound away
how much is a re-spray? maybe Flavien Vidal might know a good cheap place

You almost won’t believe me. Crows, man. Motherfucking birds. One flew into my passenger side mirror (that one on there now is a replacement I had with the new door), and smashed it. I kid you not. Tom McParland called it “Hitchcock shit” and that’s precisely what it was.
Obviously not all of it is birds, but I’m pretty sure I hit shit or curb checked at what at the light after it happened. It scared the shit out of me.

I’m in touch with a Kanagawa body shop, hopefully he can buff the shit out of it. But I’m talking to my own regular mechanic in Gunma first, because getting the door electronics and window fixed is priority numero uno.
