View Full Version : Rear arch dent :(
While pissing about tonight, I managed to get a dent in my rear arch, How easy are they to get out as so far all I have done is put little dimples in the arch that are visible on the outside :cry:
A pic will help show how bad it is
Unfortunately bluetooth doesn't work on my pc so I cant upload pics:cry:its just above the wheel on the flat part on the arch with a little dent on the arch line that i doubt will come out.
thats nigh on impossible to get to with a hammer dolly - if its shallow prob faster to skim with filler and respray. Coule try a dent puller but would still need spraying.
Pic would be useful though...if its creased on the flared bit that'll need fettling a tad...
Try a sucker to pull it out you might be lucky...
The best I can do is stealz a picture of Benn's Nova (as its sexy as ****) and illustrate with some clever paint shopping ;)

That's where the bump is, Not that big but noticeable.
SUX2BME :cry:
just fill it and paint it. not exactly hard
Yay my car!
Your screwed with a dent there, you wont get to the insides. Try a sucker you never know your luck. You could just a glue on pad to use with a slide hammer, but they can damage the paint. But if it dont works you'll be filling and painting anyway.

I have a wee dent right where yours is mate...Can't remember what side it's on
Really annoying when you look down the side of the car but it's not my main concern
It'll be fixed if the car gets painted again

doubt a sucker would get it sucker is only really good for huge dents filler and paint is prob the best way to go or ring your local dent wizard see if he can repair without paint
:cry:Bodge was the last thing I wanted to do as she has no bodge on her at all, I can get to it if I take the rear seat belt pully out, Will try that first and if that fails then bodge it is :cry:
