Creg Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hey guys, discovered a dent on the crease of the panel just behind my drivers side door handle, rather gutted considering I purposley park as far away from anyone and everything wherever I go... but none the less someone has managed to do this and drive off which is always lovely. Sorry for the absolute terrible photo (and filthy car) as I only noticed it tonight at work and wondered if anyone would have any idea if this would come out with a PDR? I'm not going to be able to get to any sort of body shop for a week or so, so I guess I'm kinda hoping I'll get some reassurance before hand but that obviously might not be the case There isn't any cracked paint from what I can see, just a few small scuffs if that information is of any use. I will try and get a better photo tomorrow but may not be able to upload it until after work which will be midnigh-ish again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm sure you can get behind it from inside just there so I don't see why not. Call a PDR company and get them to have a look at it, they'll soon tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Most of it but I think that's actually over the swage line which usually means it's very difficult to totally removr Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It all depends if the area behind is double skinned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creg Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Yea it is over the line unfortunately. Thanks for the replies though guys, swamped with work at the moment so not going to be have time to get it looked at until the other side of new year, but if PDR isn't an option hopefully I can source a new panel from someone on here as a fill and respray wil be waaaaaay too expensive, and I can't not have it perfect I hate seeing any dings or dents!

Not exactly sure what you mean here bud but you do realise that a new quarter panel will mean that the old one has to be cut out, new one welded in, painted and blended to all adjacent panels? That will be running you into four figures at a decent body shop. A repair on that panel shouldn't be more than a few hundred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creg Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Ah really I did not know that :/ hopefully the PDR guys can make it fairly un seeable then, fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
