Some Idiot Scraped My Car

Featured Replies

Hi, I was just washing my car this afternoon for the first time in weeks and have noticed that some idiot has scraped the front left wing of my car. It's pretty bad, and in a few places has gone right through to the plastic. :(

I've taken a few pictures, they're not the best quality because it's now already pretty dark outside, but it will give some idea of the damage.

So does anyone have any ideas or advice on how to get this fixed? How much would it likely cost me etc? Or would i be better off just getting a new wing. It's on the bumper too but not as noticeable.

Thanks for any advice.

hi there if you got a new wing you would have to get it painted as well you dont need a new one take it to your local bodyshop and they will be able to spray the corner of the bumper and wing for you i would reckon about £100/£150 would do it

I had a similar thing happen to me, cost me £100 for a respray at a friend's body shop (that was "mates rates")

Thanks for the replies, £100-£150 doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as I was thinking, now I just need to find a good body shop.
