#1: Cost to get this fixed? Author: GregorG, Location: LinlithgowPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 10:43 am ---- Hi, wasn't paying attention today and ended up scraping the front of my car across the back corner of another 206. Properly p**sed off seeing as i only passed my test last week
the damage to the other car was pretty much only paint scrapes but my passenger's side front wing has a hefty dent in it and major scrape, has taken the paint off right down to the grey metal
so basically i'm wondering how much it'll cost to fix the dent, or if it would just be worth finding a replacement wing
heres a wee pic of the damage:

Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 10:46 am ---- i had more a less exactly the same dent best just to go to a scrappy and grab yourself another wing colour matched if possible as there not too hard to get off and put a new one on
i did mine myself

Easy to fit as there only bolted on
#4: Re: Cost to get this fixed? Author: GregorG, Location: LinlithgowPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 10:53 am ---- would it look stupid at all having a sport wing on one side and a non sports wing on the other?

#7: Re: Cost to get this fixed? Author: kieron, Location: in the housePosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 10:58 am ---- A good bodyshop would cost around 150 to paint as it would need to be blowed into the door
would the bumper buff out? id would try finding a car breaking the same colour
#8: Re: Cost to get this fixed? Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:01 am ---- Polish the bumper out or live with it, personally don't think it looks too bad to have a repair on that and just get a new wing £50 max jobs a goodun
#9: Re: Cost to get this fixed? Author: GregorG, Location: LinlithgowPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:17 am ---- how would i go about taking the wing off? is it just as easy as unscrewing a few bits?
i reckon i'm gonna have a go at bashing the dent out.... cant really make it look any worse
#10: Re: Cost to get this fixed? Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:20 am ---- there's a how to somewher on here on taking the whole front end off im sure you will get the idea from that of how to go about it may even be one for just the wing cant really remember but it is easy
#11: Re: Cost to get this fixed? Author: GregorG, Location: LinlithgowPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:21 am ---- thanks mate, will have a look for it just now
#12: Re: Cost to get this fixed? Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:27 am ---- Iirc it recalls taking the grill -> headlights -> bumper and then you should be able to get to every bolt.
#13: Re: Cost to get this fixed? Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:29 am ---- you can get to every bolt without removing the bumper
i only did this the other week
but yeah headlights and grill will need to come out and you take your wheel arch lining out to get to the awkward bolt near the door
there is also a bolt holding it to the bumper behind the cold air feed that runs up that wing

Grill yes.
Headlamp & bumper, depends what tools you have
I fitted a pair of sport wings last year with Jarad's help, only thing we had to remove was the grill
Ratchet spanner's FTW
#15: Re: Cost to get this fixed? Author: Matt, Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:32 am ---- Price of a new wing £35.
As it's only cosmetic I'd suggest you hold out for one in the correct colour.
Last thing you want to be doing is paying for spraying costs ontop.
