I dropped my bike against a family members car earlier, nice small dent in the door
![]() I have no idea how much the type of dent costs to repair, doesn't look that bad at all (no paint off). I do have empty credit cards to pay for it myself, but i am poor at the moment!. Im just looking at worst case scenario really. Cant get any repair quotes until tomorrow. Thanks all Last edited by beabert; 15-08-11 at 02:07 AM. |

If the paint isnt damaged those magic dent guys are very good, they charge about £50 - £75 per panel last time I looked. It's best if the dent is away from an edge or seam. Cheaper than any insurance excess?

A panel repair and spray can be as little as 50 ,I dare say your excess will be more than that alone let alone the premium hike you'll suffer

![]() ![]() If you bang a pic up it'll be easier to assess. Quiff's on holiday and he's the dent master

Mate, you'd be bonkers to send this minor damage through the insurance, you'll pay for it twice over at least.

![]() As for photos, ill post some tomorrow, but they are very small, nothing much to see. The car is a RX8 in gloss black, the panels are so thin and easy to dent. |
