Just Noticed This....How to fix this?

subrven1 · 04-09-2016, 07:34 PM

Hi Guys

Just saw this on my Glacier Silver 328i. Not sure when or where it happened. I guess you can never drop your guard and park next to people. Learnt my lesson.

As far as fixing this, how do i go about doing that? Body Shop? Is it fixable? Expensive fix?

That sucks. My wife says I'm paranoid when I'm parking the car, but this shows you can never be too careful.

Paintless dent repair. The dealer showing have a person or knows someone who does it.

This dent is in a tough spot for PDR. More than likely, even if PDR can reduce it, it will impact the body line in the panel. Maybe you can find a PDR artist to help make it more invisible.

Probably will take body work to repair properly. And since you have silver, a difficult color to spray and match, you will be respraying the rear quarter and blending into the door.

Despite its location I'm pretty confident pdr can repair it completely. A really good pdr guy can work wonders.
