So on Thursday someone dented my Nitro on the rear panel just below and behind the fuel filler door. Be really careful as this area is very weak to the touch. There is a strengthener around the filler door inside but where that stops the outer panel is very flexible so if someone leans or pushes there it will crease very easily.
I hope that person has plenty of straws at home coz they'll need them to eat their dinner if I find out who it was...
Hopefully my buddies friend, who is a panel beater, can get it out for me.

Graham,
That really sucks! I hope your friend can fix it quickly. It's so disappointing when you get your first ding!

Sorry to hear about that Limey! Track 'em down! I did back in '78 when my car got hit, I did a regular CSI and found the responsible party and got them to pay!

 

[Quiet Lunatic]

Oh trust me, they WILL pay...:box::hlp:

2nd ding actually. Got a scratch on right side. I know the car that did it...Black Ion Redline. I was looking at it coz my buddy has a silver one the same, when I got back he was gone and I had a small ding. You don't see many so it makes it easier for me to, you know.....

Sorry to see that & from where the damage is it looks like it was intentional. So many ignorant people out there!

I say we string them up and let the buzzards have 'em.

That's some lousy news, CL! Any luck havin' er' fixed yet?

I have the name of a guy who has come highly recommended, I've just got to make time to go and see him.

Find a "Paintless Dent Repair" guy! Hard to tell exactly, but the damage appears fixable using that method. (I do it for a living, but unfortunately, I'm not close enough.)

If you cant find one, let me know, I can check the network I belong to and see if someone is near you.

Yep, there are specialists with special tools pulling out that kind of dents, no repaint necessary, and do not cost much (AU$100-200). We have some in Oz, no doubt you can find some in your area by looking up your Yellow Pages. I hope karma get around to people who damage other people's hard-earned properties and not owning up to it (accidentally or otherwise).

Yes the guy I'm going to see will repair it from the inside. He did a similar fix for a guy I work with and you couldn't tell afterwards.
