Help removing dint

[Tomas]

Hi, can anyone give me advice on removing this dint? I've removed that plastic thingy on the inside of the boot lid but I cannot get to it.

Thanks

That will be a dent man I'm afraid, it is possible to push the dent from the inside but not much. I had a similair one and cost me 60 quid in the end

where in the NE are you? i know a body shop that could give you a decent quote

 

[Tomas]

South Shields

 

[Knuckles]

ah, where abouts?

do you know the mini garage off the queen alex bridge in sunderland? theres a body shop next door that used to give me brilliant prices (£70 to fill a hole in a rear bumper and spray the bumper, side strips, bullets and spoiler)

 

[Tomas]

Aye I think I know where you mean, I'll have a look. Thanks

Also how much would it roughly cost to spray a 172 Cup spoiler?

 

[Knuckles]

dont quote me but i cant see it being more than £50 on its own

 

[Tomas]

I'd attempt it myself but I'd probably make a hash of it, I'm gonna go down the body shop tomorrow and ask anyways.

Thanks for the help!

 

[Tomas]

Also, how can I find out the paint code? Do I need to contact Renault?

Thanks again

 

[Knuckles]

open your drivers door, if its not been scratched off (common problem) the paint code will be on there

but this guy matches paint really well

 

[Tomas]

Okay I'll have a look tomorrow but I don't think there is, I know there's one on the passenger side still..

 

[Knuckles]

little clear sticker with black writing below the bit where the door locks to the body (iirc)

 

[Tomas]

Yeah I'll have a look tomorrow. Thanks

 

[Tomas]

Well today I popped down to the body shop, on Maxwell Street at Laygate.

Had the dint removed for free and it'll cost £50 to spray and fit the spoiler so I'm gonna try and get it booked in at some point.

 

[Tomas]

When I get the spoiler booked in to be sprayed, I might get the handles and door strips done too how much would it roughly cost to spray handles and strips done?

 

[Tomas]

Anyone?

 

[Tomas]

Anyone have a rough idea on how much?

 

[Knuckles]

is it the same place i told you about?

cant imagine them being much more. £20 if anything

if it is the guy i said, youll have to take the handles off for him. (i couldnt be arsed with it so didnt get them done)

 

[Tomas]

No, haven't had time yet to go up. I went to Alders on Maxwell Street.

 

[Knuckles]

not sure where that is hence the question sorry

go to the scrappy in shields (theyre cheap) and get a pair of door handles. give them to the spray guy then fit them in your own time, rather than messing about and having no handles on your car for a couple of days

 

[Tomas]

Aye, might do.

 

[Knuckles]

he charged me £5 for 4 sidestrips (2 doors and 2 rear quarters) with 16V bullets intact. cant see it being much for handles
