New Zealand Stinger T - Boned

[Stinger GT SS]

This Stinger as mentioned, has no Sunroof, or red Brembo brake calipers, but i have seen it has the GT front headlights, maybe this Stinger is actually from NZ not Australia...
Can any Aussie here make out where the number plate comes from in this photo ?

Well they are the same rims & zooming in on the number plate it looks Kiwi, definitely not Aussie.

I think not AU, but the foliage on the background does look a little subtropical.

Well I just noticed same stickers in same position on the windscreen, has to be the same car.

This isn’t your old boat is it’s Shannon?

No, too much fuel burn.
Markline 1100 (not actual boat but similar)

They could be kiwi plates but possibly not the same car. The original pics of the damaged car have a yellow lid recycling bin on the footpath behind it, not sure about other states but we have them in NSW

I have not mentioned before that the owner of this Stinger is a member of the Kia Stinger Owners Club of Australia/NZ on Facebook, the 3 photos of the damaged Stinger and the photo of the Stinger in the driveway are from his Facebook account, so just saying all are of the exact same car.

Fair enough, maybe ask him where he is then. Other option is the plates could be from SA

My bet it is definitely a NZ car.

I asked the owner about his damaged car, he lives in New Zealand and he told me that model is a 2.0 GT-Line.

Is it repairable?

I just asked him if his Stinger Gt-Line is repairable, waiting for a reply.
