#1: 206 vs Brick Wall (not fun) Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 10:59 am ---- No this isnt some funny video where a 206 demolishes a wall, this is what happens when you reverse out of a parking space into a brick wall
Awaits "was a girl driving?" and the "how big was the wall?" questions.
So do you think it can be fixed? Obviously the bumper is just a respray but the metal frame of the car has creased, creating a new line on the side of the car. Doubt it will add much to the aerodynamics of the car.
So go on, commence the laughter...

NON insurance approved body shops get work through word of mouth so they normally do a really good job so they get new customers.

You'll need to check the fittings, but if a new panel should be okay?

#6: Re: 206 vs Brick Wall (not fun) Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 11:37 am ---- I'm with Lee. 2bh I'd take the light out and try and hit most of it back out with a hammer and some wood then sand it down and filler it your self will save you ALOT, as body shops seem to charge more for the prep than the actual spraying.
#7: Re: 206 vs Brick Wall (not fun) Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 11:44 am ---- Money isn't the problem, the reason the bumper is blue is because I had a GTi180 bumper fitted.
All I want to know is, can it be fixed? Because that part of the car isn't a panel like the front is it? It's part of the main shell of the car I thought
#8: Re: 206 vs Brick Wall (not fun) Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 11:49 am ---- Yes it can be fixed, question is how well can it be done. You need to take it to a bodyshop to look at it, no one on here will be able to tell you without seeing it
#9: Re: 206 vs Brick Wall (not fun) Author: Dillon, Location: KentPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 12:10 pm ---- Ouch!
It can be repaired either by Lee's suggested method or more expensively. They will jig the car remove the damaged area of the rear panel ( angle grinder ) and stitch a new piece in by redoing the spot welds and stich the gap where it was cut.
#10: Re: 206 vs Brick Wall (not fun) Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 12:27 pm ---- for the cost of 206's i would bash it out and filler it
i think a new rear wing fitted would be well over 500 quid
#11: Re: 206 vs Brick Wall (not fun) Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 12:28 pm ---- A good bodyshop will fix that NOT replace it
#12: Re: 206 vs Brick Wall (not fun) Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 12:32 pm ---- That does not justify a new panel. Thats the sort of job a slide hammer was designed for.
#13: Re: 206 vs Brick Wall (not fun) Author: Walton450, Location: LeicesterPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 1:02 pm ---- Agree with above slide hammer and filler.
#14: Re: 206 vs Brick Wall (not fun) Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 1:26 pm ---- Awesome! As long as it can be repaired that makes me feel better
