#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.

#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

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.

#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
