Dent on Bodyline
I bought my car early this year with a dent on the rear quarter panel.
I am not very annoyed with it but it is constantly in the back of my mind. $120 excl. GST to fix. It is hardly noticeable but is the only flaw on the car body. After half a year I am still undecided if I should fix it. P.S. Yes curb rash on the wheels from first month of owning it. Am eyeing for people to part with their old OEM wheels. ![]() |

This totally depends on how much you care and how much $120 is to you.
I'd say screw it because it's not the last dent the car will get, but I'm poor. |

Get it fixed. I had a very small dent on my door panel for a few months, car never felt perfect to me knowing there was a dent. I got 2 more in the same area and then I got it fixed right away.
You'll enjoy your car more knowing its not dented. |

I have been temped to pick up a basic PDR kit so I can take care of small stuff like that on my own. Dents on a crease can be tricky but if I had that one it would be just about the perfect one to try my hand at.
A basic kit is not all that much money and think how popular you could become at meets! http://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesal...-for-cars.html

I vowed not to touch my car again when it relates to dents and scratches. Tried to fix a stone chip and ended up having to respray the bumper. Last edited by Ratez; 07-28-2016 at 07:14 PM. |

You are bugged about it enough to make a thread. It costs nothing to fix. Math lesson over.

I would fix it - very easily done with PDR in an accessible area via peeling back the liner in the wheel well. It would look like it was never there.
It's fairly minor - honestly if you're that concerned about paying to have it fixed, this one might be easy enough to attempt on your own after watching a few DIY PDR videos. |

Heat it up and bang it with an auto body dolly edge. If you're brave.

Wetsanded the clear coat off ![]() Yeah I'll just get the PDR guy to fix it and be done with it. Was going to see if more dents come by as theres a decent % off after the first dent fix. |
