small dent to wheel arch

Post by drnick »

any ideas or suggestions appreciated. We've got a small (less than 1cm long) dent / crease on the rear wing where the wheel arch flattens off. Do any experts here think this will be repairable without paint? It's not deep, only noticeable close up.

Thanks in anticipation

It's an easy enough place to get to luckily but the problem is that its on a crease in the panel. Should be repairable to the extent that it's not noticible but may be hard to get perfect. Just my opinion - i'm no expert on bodywork repair :shrug: Good luck and let us know how you get on :yes:

Hi drnick,

If you've got a paintless dent removal guy anywhere near to you they should be able to get that mark out without any trouble.

We used to do paintless dent removal repairs so we're fairly sure you should be able to get that repaired without any problems.

Hope you get it sorted

Taryn and Jim :)
