#2: Re: Works car park Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 3:40 pm ---- Can the dent be knocked out? Maybe cheaper than buying another wing?
#3: Re: Works car park Author: Nosvartu, Location: HarrogatePosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 3:41 pm ---- It might be but if it doesn't get done right it might just be cheaper to buy the new wing. im going to go around a couple of local garages on Monday to get some prices. found a wing £25 free postage on ebay.
#4: Re: Works car park Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 3:44 pm ---- But then you hope the colour match is spit on as paint does fade with age I'd give it a go like Paul said what's there to loose?
#5: Re: Works car park Author: Nosvartu, Location: HarrogatePosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 3:49 pm ---- To be fair my car is spotless no paint fade or anything but i suppose your right you guys have more knowledge on this kind of stuff so ill heed your advice
#6: Re: Works car park Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 4:23 pm ---- You have to check if the wings are sport or non sport. One is more flared than the other. Depending on the colour, the difference in paint match could be negligible. 2 pack paint doesn't seem to fade as much as cellulose used to.
#7: Re: Works car park Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 6:13 pm ---- definitely replace it, so much easier, and they aren't expensive
#8: Re: Works car park Author: Nosvartu, Location: HarrogatePosted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 2:26 pm ---- The damage to more poor pug will go see if i can get it knocked out tomorrow :/ more money to spend...
#9: Re: Works car park Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 2:30 pm ---- It doesn't look that bad 2bh I reckon that could be pulled back out.
#10: Re: Works car park Author: Nosvartu, Location: HarrogatePosted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 2:34 pm ---- Theirs only some black paint from what i'm guessing their car left i really think i could get it buffed out just depends how much
#11: Re: Works car park Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 2:40 pm ---- If you remove the headlight or arch guard you may be able to get it out with some gentle hot air gun heat and persistance
That or get a dent removal person for it and then buff out the scratches?
#12: Re: Works car park Author: Nosvartu, Location: HarrogatePosted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 3:05 pm ---- When i try to fix things like that i make it worse lets say my touch up pen work didn't go very well :p. so ill leave it to the experts
#13: Re: Works car park Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 3:19 pm ---- I got a dent on the opposite side at the back, looks worse though because I took the paint off
FYI - I did not hit your car, I hit a wall lol
#14: Re: Works car park Author: Nosvartu, Location: HarrogatePosted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 3:21 pm ---- Hmmmm you hit my car!! what were you doing in sainsburys car park
#15: Re: Works car park Author: Nosvartu, Location: HarrogatePosted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 6:42 am ---- £185 to get the bump knocked out and resprayed or if i can find a replacement £80 to put it on for me
#16: Re: Works car park Author: evilmunkey87, Location: TorquayPosted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 11:15 am ---- Thats an insane price!! I can get my drivers wing, front grille, 2 rear arches and the 2 door handles all done for £200! It is only a slight dent on the wing and the rest is just scuffs or the door handles lacquer has peeled, but more damage in total than your knock for a tiny bit more money lol.
My suggestion, either go somewhere who won't rip you off or buy the £25 wing and fit it yourself, won't take more than an hour if you are unsure what you are doing and I am sure you will find a guide on here, seems to be for everything else
Hope ya get it sorted
#17: Re: Works car park Author: Nosvartu, Location: HarrogatePosted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 4:04 pm ---- I'm going to take it off, try knock it out myself and of that dosn't work buy a new one and put it on myself
#18: Re: Works car park Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 4:11 pm ---- Get a quote for a SMART repair before you attempt to knock that out.
#19: Re: Works car park Author: Coolspot, Location: East SussexPosted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 4:22 pm ---- A guy spent half an hour fulling something out like that (a little smaller) from behind my drivers door, It looked amazing and he did it in a hurry as it was a favor from a mate on the way to another job.
#20: Re: Works car park Author: Nosvartu, Location: HarrogatePosted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 4:20 am ---- I was going to knock it out my self to make it free hard life been a student. If it fails just replace the wing
