Okay well today has not been good at all, walking back from the gym i reach the carpark to find...



It really killed me because i just got this a month and a half ago. So im just about to go sort out my panelbeater etc but while i had the camera out i thought i'd take some pics of a something thats really annoying me.

Anyway my other problem is that it has been outside the last few nights and its been very frosty.



Now the passenger side headlight has built up moisture inside of the headlight. Suggestions on how to fix this? I don't really have time to search atm as i really wanna sort out my panelbeater.

Thanks for any help

 

for your quarter panel try heating it up with a blow dryer for a few minutes then rub dry ice over it might take out most of the dent. you can see how its done on youtube.com then try and buff out the scuffs on it as well may help but not be 100% as for the headlight try taking it out and putting it in the oven for a few minutes at about 350 degreez to heat up the glue and then you can seperate the lens from the housing and apply some silicone or glue to reseal it so no moisture gets in.

 

quater panel dents are actually alot bigger than you can see in the picture, i'll try get a better shot and the scuff marks are actualli mostly paint ripped off. And I heard drilling a hole in the bottom of the headlights stops moisture build up. Anyone attest to this?

 

Not sure if it will work for your case. But this is what frost one is talking about.

quarter panel work... take it to a body shop before you maybe make it worse. for the light... you'll most likely have to do what is said ^ and open it up and reseal it. otherwise, i've heard of the drilled hole idea. GL

 

take it to a paintless dent removal clinic, and here what they have to say

 

nah thats a job for the body shop.. too damaged for paintless dent removal sorry..

prob looking at $250-300 area inc painting for the guard, my guess
then depends on the bumper might be another $150 area for painting or **** all if it will buff out

 

well whoever swiped your R must sill go to that GYM.. go around looking for someone with CW paint on their car and wait till they come.. an have a little suprise party for em..

 

wish that was the case, but the gym is shared with a pool so lots of kids getting picked up by soccer mums. From the height of it, looks like a tow bar. Grrr ahwell gives me an opportunity to get my front lip resprayed and finally respray my side skirts.

 

haha i guess.. what evs. best of luck to you my friend to a sick R

 

Look at the bright side, at least it hasn't been stolen ... yet.

 

And i thought getting my bumper scratched at the gym by parrallel parkin newbies was bad ...
your in for 500$ at least if u want a decent job, I'd go as far as to say 700... tey need to start from the door and the c pillar middle undo the end of your sides and do your whole bumper, or if your cheap only the side, but it's a type R, so get the whole thing done, you wont regret it after its all paid for... otherwise, go for a half assed price and get a half assed job

Aint that tha truth

 

pick up some rubbing compound made by turtle. it works MIRACLES when it comes to scuffs. i gurantee those marks will be gone unless the paint chipped off.
