so, i now have a nice dint on the front of a car... i might explain how it happened when im less shitty about it, but basically im very much less than impressed with how it happened...
but they're all a bit far away from me (newtown area) does anyone know a place nearby that i can take it? and hopefully have it fixed and ready to go by next saturday?
U could pop that out easy. as TD said heat it with heat gun or hair dryer, take the plastic splash guard off the bottom of front bar and pop it out with ur hand .. as for the paint cant help u lol have to see a spray painter should be $200ish to paint teh front bar
ah well, all fixed now
well, the dent is gone... but there is still a nasty scratch
so, here's the story of how the not-so-mechanically-minded one removed his dint
so following luke/brad/TD's advice with applying heat to the bumper, and luke saying to take the stone tray off, i searched the house for tools for the job, and here they are: IMG_20110514_182829.jpg
that's all that was in the house...
tried to pull the stone catch tray off, that failed...
couldnt get decent access at the bolts...
so, got the shits, wondered if i could get at it via the engine bay... nope
sat down next to tyre and had a bit of a and
then wondered if i could get at it through the wheel well... turned tyre, attempted to remove the plastic inside, that didnt work, in the end opened it up enough to get hand through IMG_20110514_181933.jpg
(yes my rims are covered in brake dust)
i was able to reach through to the dint
4L of hot water later, pushed on it enough to pop it back into place IMG_20110514_182638.jpg
paint is still scratched, but meh, no more dint in car
