Toon Chris Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Coming out of my normal car park, a new post has been erected to stop people pinching a private parking space. With my usual cack-handedness I managed to locate the post with my first attempt It doesn't look hideous, I mean tell me that's not too noticeable, barely visible in the right light, eh? Oh damn. The plastic is easily touched up but any idea if than bottom corner of the door can be popped out and repaired? Maybe it's better top have it professionally filled? I'm not feeling flush this week after paying for the holiday so any guidance on the costs or where best to take it in the area, or even kind words, all gratefully received Quote
martinmac Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Thats bad luck Chris, not nice at all. I know someone in Sunderland who will sort that for you for a very good price. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Unluuky mate If you took that to Nissan they would say new door skin!!(think my quote was for £1000!!) I think I ended up paying about £300 for mine to be filled and painted... was the same sort of damage to the door and the skirt but my door was a bit more dented! Would guess yours may be the same due to the blending that will need to be done with the blue.. Quote
Toon Chris Posted June 17, 2009 Author Posted June 17, 2009 Under £300 I can live with (the further under the better though, of course), thanks for that. Martin, where are you thinking of in Sunderland? That would be ideal Quote
martinmac Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Its the place that ESR used Chris, they have done a lot of zeds and are good at paint matching. They also do work for the Nissan dealers in the area. Car & Bike Magic Riverside Rd Sunderland, SR5 3JG, United Kingdom 0191 548 0909‎ Quote

martinmac Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 They did all the fitting and painting on my car. They also modified the ings rear to fit and repaired it when the muppet in the Cossie pranged me. Quote

tony20vt Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 what about another door from the breakers, at least it wont have any filler in it. Quote
mbs Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Sorry to hear that but to cheer you up the aeriel is in the post Quote
nixy Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 oh balls! Not your week Chris! Hope its not too pricey! Quote
stanski Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Ouch - bad luck Chris! On the positive side why not make this an excuse to Mod? Get some MASSIVE vinyl graphics to put on your doors - to cover it? What about a Ren and Stimpy graphic or one of the 'New Action Log' Ads' or a 350Z-UK.COM? Quote
M13KYF Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I would of said more than £300 with the Azure you'll need to paint down the whole side to be able to blend it in properly. Double it Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Sorry to read this, that should be sorted easily enough... Quote
Toon Chris Posted June 18, 2009 Author Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks Guys, and thanks Martin I will give them a call Um, Stan, no, just no. Quote
bronzee Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Aaaw, poor little Zed you bruised it. Hope you get it fixed up soon, back to normal. Don't forget before and after pics. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks Guys, and thanks Martin I will give them a call Um, Stan, no, just no. I’m sure your Zed will be back to its former glory in no time… Quote
stanski Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks Guys, and thanks Martin I will give them a call Um, Stan, no, just no. You know you want to - looks its almost a perfect colour match!! Quote
martinmac Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Just to give you an idea. My ings rear was about that bad and was split in two places. He did a full repair and paint for a very reasonable price. It looks a bit back street but Phil had never given me a bad recommendation and I was very pleased. Quote
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 well if u get stuck bud.. i know of 2 places that i could recommend. ones 100 yards away from me shop in seaton burn.. good guys plus they do alota police work which is always a good sign. and another guy in crammi.. both really good and i get a tres good discount from both... -ho Quote
M350ZB Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 It looks a bit back street but Phil had never given me a bad recommendation and I was very pleased. Best thing about them as well, they love the zed's and are really nice genuine people, would 100% recomend them bud Quote
