broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 5m 1d Gender: Male Posted 16/11/12 08:29 AM Share Posted 16/11/12 08:29 AM hey guys, just a quick question. After washing the car I noticed a very small dint in the front passenger quarter panel. By minor I mean the paint hasn't altered over it at all and is really only visible from certain angles. Needless to say now I know it's there it's bugging me. The dint is up near the top maybe 2-3 inches from where the bonnet meets the quarter. Can I access up under the by removing the wheel and all the plastic that's in there and give it a push out? Or do is it easier to remove the whole panel? It's not a major issue but now that I know it's there it will annoy me no end.cheers guys.oh and have a feeling stereo installer did it, has the characteristic of something leaning on it.

The rapid change in temp will pop it right back out. Only works as long as the metal isn't creased.

To remove the whole guard youd need to pull the headlight out and Front bumper off too.Just get a good paintless dent guy out. Ive been in smash repairs for 15 years and I highly recommend you leave It to the pro's.Its not as easy to do as it might look. The steel stretches as its pushed in. and will need to be worked back out the correct way. Edited 18/11/12 09:30 AM by Seaton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
