PDR on Wing?

[TheAngryDog]

Does anyone know if this crease would be removable with PDR?



I know some of the paint has been removed as well - I have some anonymous person to thank for this!

Thanks.

I can't make much out from the pic, any more from further away?

I'll try and get a better picture soon, just difficult as I won't be seeing daylight until Thursday!

pdr would be pretty pointless being that the paint is broken.. don't you think?

Also it looks like its double skinned.... well from what I can see.

Perhaps. I know pdr has been done on E39 wings before. I just don't want it full of filler.

TAD, you get that bumper done yet? This strikes me as one of those situations where you'll be best off getting it all done at once, bumper, wing dint, stone chipped grille / bonnet etc, by the same shop with the same batch of paint and having them complete and blend the job.

Paint is expensive and wastage is quite high, and you can never guarantee a perfect and repeatable colour match so I'd say this is the best value (if not cheapest) way to tidy up your car.

Makes perfect sense to me.

If the answer is 'no' to PDR then a small fill on a 3cm dent is hardly going to leave you with a car "full of filler"
And the next option is a new wing - which would probably need spraying anyway.
Considering the amount of work the car requires as a whole, all you've got to weigh up is the price of a new wing, the fitting of a new wing and re-spray V's the price of a very small and simple skim of filler and re-spray.

Perhaps my full of filler line was slightly dramatic , However, I am thinking from a body shop cost, what with prep, filling, sanding etc.

I also need to decide if I should have the door dents filled etc.
