Left my Supra parked for 10 mins and someone bumped into it and left a dent in the passenger side wing.

 

The paintwork is fine though no scrathes etc just a dent that I can't reach to the other side to knock out.

 

Is this self repairable of should I go to a body shop? Is it expensive?

 

Any advice appreaciated :(

:blink: Does it need a new wing ? I though you just have to resurface the dents. (Considering there's no scrathes or any defect to the paint)

 

You're going to be looking at some panel bashing, filler and paint on the whole wing, you might as well miss out two of those stages and just go for a wing and have it painted.

dont let these money wasters fool you, thats is totally repairable, get a dent puller (suction type) pull most of the dent out, get a dolly (somewhat similar to a hammer;) get those deep little noticable folds out, skim of filler over it and send it of for paint. (obviously with sanding and smoothing, id recommend that if your familiar with bodywork.

 

to be honest its like £120 for a new wing, probably £85-100 for a paint job on a panel...personally id sort that myself, its nothing big :)

From what you said price wise there's only £20 difference either way so i would personally go for a new wing and just pay labour for the spraying rather than the labour of pulling the dents out filling, sanding and then spraying!

 

Just seems quicker and easier that way.
