Hi All,
I was traveling through alkhail today and was rear ended. We checked at that time but could not find major things. I was to call the police but the guy was asking repeatedly not to call. Now I came back home and could see some other damages as well. If I want to raise the police report now whats the procedure. I have a video evidence and the picture of the plate as well.
Please guide me.

Car tinting recommendations
Hi guys,
Got a new sedan car and wanted to get a good tint which is dark from outside and inside a bit clear and helps with heat rejection as well so please do recommend places with prices as well.

Confused : How to check by VIN number which Toyota RAV4 I am buying ?
I have finalised a RAV4 model thinking it is Adventure trim, but i see EV option in the car.
Car is GCC and looks like adventure model.
The dealer has no clear idea about the car, car overall is fine.
From my research I understand EV option is available for Hybrid models.
The trim which is see looks like Adventure, Only difference is mode button are different.

Where can I buy an antenna like this
Searching for off road antennas on Amazon/google only shows me the RC car looking ones. I want one that doesn’t need holes to be drilled on the body. Any leads would be great thanks.

How bad an idea is this?
For context, the car in the picture belonged to my grandfather. I was too young to remember much from the time, except that I loved it.
I recently thought it would be amazing to own one myself. Although I don’t know too much about Mercedes-Benz cars, I believe it’s a E-Class (W210).
What are your thoughts on the W210? What's my best bet to find a clean one and how much can I expect to spend buying and owning it?

LED Headlights for a 2023 Prado GXR
Hi everyone!
I have a 2023 V6 4.0L Prado (GXR) with front and rear halogen lights. I want to replace them with LED sets same like VXR and the adventure. I would like to know if it’s possible to get it done from the authorised service centre itself. I am a bit concerned if I do the job outside, it will affect my warranty. Also I don’t know if there’s any specific brand which I need to look into. Any advice would be greatly helpful dear members
Many thanks!

Getting hit with an early middle age crisis and time for a proper sport car
Yeah, according to Google early middle age crisis is a real thing - and now I want a corvette or something that screams I have small pipi and loud engine
Looking to sell my g70 (it’s financed so might be a difficult thing to sell in general) and looking to get 2LT.
People who actually have sport cars like this that actually go into a supercar territory (terms and conditions apply) how are they in generally for daily driving? I have an appointments with Chevrolet in two weeks to see the car, but how’s the general daily driving in it? Don’t care about fuel consumption but how’s the road presence? Will I have issue with loud stock exhaust?

Officially leaving Cafu
I used to be a regular user of Cafu, after they removed their service charges for fuelling last year and added credit packages with bonus credit, but I read the recent discussions about how they aren't having good quality fuel and other points, I was doubtful to continue. However, they recently introduced their service charges (2.95 dhs per fuel-up) back, even after they used to boast about not having any service charges. I guess I'm back to the traditional fuel-up at the petrol stations.
I was able to get a discount at Adnoc by using Sparklo points towards my fuel-up. Recycled about 100 bottles for 5 dhs discount 😅
