classic impreza front wing ding, smart repairable?

[rb5230]

hi, an idiot "mate" of mine last night put a dent in the front wing of my rb5 last night by pressing down on the wing and "testing the suspension??!!!??"

the dent is on the top edge of the wing where it goes from horizontalish to verticalish. does anyone know if a smart dent repair type would be able to pop it back out or will the wing have to come off?

god i hate people who have to keep touching cars.

any help wuld be appeciated. thanks.

We don't offer dent repairs in house, and it's always hard to say without seeing the damage - but with those caveats, I'd expect a good dent tech to be able to sort what you describe. The really skilled techs can work marvels. As with any skilled trade though, the individual is everything - I'd get some recommendations locally from past customers before you let someone start playing with the metal on your P&J.
