rear arch dint
« on: 13 June 2011, 08:04 »
During the race yesterday me and a few mates got bored of sat waiting for it to restart so decided to go out for a bit, we were all facing forwards in the car park and as my mate reversed he didn't realise his car was on full lock meaning his car swung around and his front wing his my rear arch.

Now there's a scuff about 1 or 2 inches long and a dint, the dint is litterally right on the edge, what would you say is the best thing to do? I was just gonna get some wood and a hammer and try knock it out, but wouldn't that just knock the inside of the arch in and not do anything to the outside? Will I have to take the inside arch liner out?

What would you say the best option is?

Ill get some pics tonight, but its pretty easy to imagine :D

get up a pic, then you'll get more chance of a good suggestion

i'm a panel beater/painter by trade so if you get up a pic i'll tell you what you can do

Pics would help, but I would leave it to a pro mate you'll only make it worse
