smart repair classic impreza front wing?

[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.

Border line I think, is the metal kinked or creased ?

suggest your mate pays for the damage to be fixed and that you break a few of his fingers as a reminder

it is not kinked or creased, it has just pushed inwards but is right near the top of the wing. what an idiot.

A decent dent 'pusher-outer' should be able to sort it no trouble as long as it can be accessed from behind (don't know much about the Scoob but I am guessing wheel and wheelarch liner off will give access). Like with everything else there are guys who do a quick job and guys who do a good job.

I've always given business to just the one chap who uses only hand tools (no dry-ice or plunger trickery) working from the inside of the panel and his work is truly art....

Just last Friday morning he sorted two car-park dings on the passanger door of my Alfa GT. Took him an hour and a half and he only charged me £30 (but I gave him £40).

Shame he's about 400 miles away from you though....
