n7yr Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi, whilst my car was parked all day some inconsiderate person decided to knock a lovely little dent in my drivers side wing, relatively close to the headlight. ive searched the forum and cant find anything definitive to answer my question, but can anyone reccommend a technique to remove with a nice finish? obviously i can just remove the wing and tap it with a rubber mallet, but that technique always leads a shadow dent behind.thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Have to agree with Scotty. Get a panel beater to do it and then perhaps fill it in if required. You might find it pops out without the need for filler, just depends how badly the metal is creased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 A pro paintless dent remover should be able to get that out.

n7yr Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) my only concern is that the crevice between the light and the wing, just on the edge of the wing the paint has cracked, would this effect it Edited April 27, 2013 by n7yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 If you want it perfect, then I would get a replacement wing. Must be loads of red Lupos out there breaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n7yr Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 probably the best bet for me then. what would you recommend paying for a wing in good condition as im new to all this malarky haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchlloyd Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I've just paid £40 for a passenger wing, some might say I've paid over the top but if you want it doing ASAP then I suppose you have to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
