So i had a dent in my passenger wing, after pushing most of the fecker out im still stuck with a kind of dimpled effect (see pic), is there any way to reshape this back smooth or should i just give in and buy another wing?

SMART repair
OR
Replace the wing, its not life & death, just wait till you find one in the correct colour.

Easier and cheaper to buy a wing the same colour and swap it over.

Im inclined to agree with getting a new wing, was just seeing if there was a better/quicker way to sort it while i have my bumper off for the night. Im guessing its gonna be a pita to find a matching sports wing in the identical colour with no damage at a scrappy though! :-/ cheers guys!

You can change front wings without removing the front bumper
You could always ask your small local NON insurance approved bodyshop how much £ they would want to spray a 2nd hand wing up.

I already had the bumper off to do a bit of cleaning/install a mesh grille, just seemed like an easy time to do it all at once.
