182 doors

[BRIGHTONLAD]

Does anyone know if there would be problem for a dent massager to roll a dent out above the door handle on a 182 as they said the clios have alot of safety protection behind the door panels.
if the cant do it is it possible to have a new door fitted, ie would a dealer do it and lastly any ideas of the cost.thanks

I put a small dent in the door of my 182 and renault said its easy to sort with a dent magician. mine is middle of the door though.

Im also from brighton

Mark,did you go to dent magician because im thinking of trying them. the thing that really annoys me is the car in question is a brand new 182 cup.didnt notice dents until to late

I havent been out there yet. I think its tates in portslade. the guy at renault said it should be no problem. my problem is I got some paint coming off aswell. what a nightmare. wind blew the door open and it hit a lamp post very gentley. now ive got paint flaking off the bonnet.

you mean it had dents when brand new? try the dent magician it sounds pretty good, see what they say..

Story goes as follows.
Brought 182 cup from jamjarcars for 11500 ,received it on 1st march 2005,inspected car and was all fine but 5 days later i gave it a wax and noticed it had a small vertical dent above the door handle,went round other side to see the exact same dent,looks like it was done during the making stage as they are identical,lucky enough the company said it would pay for the repairs.
i rang up Balldocks renault and they said try there body shop in ditchling common so i went and saw them ,they said they would get a dent massager in to have a go but they wouldnt give me there name,i always like to know how is going to work on my pride and joy,also he said he charges 50 pound a panal which sounds abit cheap to me as most places charge around 80 pound.
do you think i should let him try or go to dent magician.

mine has never been hit but on drivers side if you look down side there are very slight inperfections just above drivers door handle line.

Is this what you mean?
