The girlfriend strikes again! Crash No.3

:confused: not content with smashing my carbon fibre splitter off and scratching my wheel to buggery... today she decided to drive into a pillar. Annoyingly as you can see it's not just a single panel that's effected.

I've never actually had to repair a car before so what do I do from here lol. Is it worth getting one of those dent repairs guys out? I'm not sure if that's a viable option as the skirts and door handle etc. will need spraying too. Otherwise does anyone know of a good sprayer in Essex?

Any guesses as to how much this is likely to cost?

Second hand door, skirt, miracle pull the 1/4 so minimal filler is used then paint. Sorted.

  Whichever has fuel
Repair and paint that I'm going with £5-700.

Should have left the toaster alone.

Oh I'll make her pay :smile: only problem is she doesn't have any money and already owes me £500... so I guess I'm paying now, and adding it on to her lengthy slate! Had her mum on the phone having a go at me for having a go at her. I think, if there's ever a situation where you can have a go at someone, it's when they've just crashed your car! Muppet.

So do you guys reckon it's a better idea to get a second hand door and skirt and get the dent sorted by itself rather than get it all sprayed? Thanks for the input so far. As for the toaster, I never did get it where I wanted it, but I put my foot down about the utensils I bought and so far they've stayed put lol.
 
Silver is the hardest colour to match I would be surprised if its the same shade as the rest of the car once painted.

b****cks really... maybe getting second hand parts isn't the best idea then :confused:

Any recommendations for sprayer around my parts then?
 
She had an accident , its hardly the end of the world. Yeah she didnt do it on purpose and maybe needs to take more care but just go see a couple of bodyshops and get quotes for cash jobs

I scraped a bumper on the volvo this week , going to cost a couple of hundred quid , but hell s**t happens

Sorry to hear, I thought my female did a bad enough job catching the edge of my arch... That was £400 repair for a 250ish mm x 25ish mm area!

Jesus. Her mam sounds like a piece of work too!

I'd tell her to get the bus from now on.

Reading this makes me feel misogynistic.

Well if the damage is re sprayed in the same colour it left the factory i can guarantee it would not match 10+year old paint, second hand parts will be better.

50 blowjobs, minimum. And a permanant ban on driving it.

Unless you're under her thumb and she dictates everything. Like properly under the thumb. Sorta she-decides-where-the-toaster-goes level of under the thumb. Or she-owes-you-500-quid-and-you-don't-expect-to-see-it-anytime-soon level of under the thumb.

Well that is actually b****cks. The shop will just do some spray out cards to get the paint right. Shouldn't be a problem at all now. If you go somewhere with a dupot chromavision or something similar. This is how you do paint nowadays and you won't be able to tell the difference.
