Another F**KING Crash

These aint cheap fixes you can see its gone into the line on the arch which is practically impossible to put straight because of that line. I had one like that on my last car the dent guy couldn't pull it out perfect. So needed bodyshop had to be pulled then filled and painted was a minor small dent but due to location same place on rear arch lip cost me £500 to fix. At least black paint is not to bad to match only positive

Was looking at it again last night and wondering if it would be chepaer/easier for the bodyshop just to replace the rear quarter skin than try and bend it back to shape
 
Yeah id just let them fix it, shouldn't be hard as yours is just a light knock they may even heat it up and pull it out quite good without marking your paint. Its just matching the arch line which is hard you might get away with it on a black car. Mine was silver so showed the slightest imperfections in light if not straight. I had a 2 inch wide ding and pushed in about 15-20mm yours does look minor but as I say its getting that line above right or when u stand back you'll see its out
 
Just caught up with this thread - unbelievable :o !!!!
You're having a rotten run of back luck with your P&J's :thumbsdown:
Really hope the repair and insurance claims run quickly and smoothly for you James.
 
Just had this dropped off!

First impressions are that its a massive improvement over the previous generation, the interior is actually really nice, unlike the nasty plastic interior of the old one, not had a chance to take it for a spin just yet but will post a little review once I have.

Got to say having a new toy to play with for a few days has done wonders to take away the pain of seeing my baby getting beaten up

that is one butt ugly Mercedes

:rofl: Have to agree with you there - Mercedes lost the plot with the new shape SLK, too boxy and that nose :thumbsdown:
Still, it beats the Suzuki Alto I'm given when mine's in the garage :oops:
 
Ohh Noo That's got to be annoying as h#ll. :cry: Hope you get it sorted soon. Wheel alignment doesn't cost the earth. get the quotes and then make your mind up. Don't take to long about it though :wink:

I actually quite like it, but the silver colour is probably the worst for showing the squared off nose. A darker colour would be my choice. I have seen one of these up close from outside and didn't think the front end was ugly at all, but haven't seen how it looks inside. Looking forward to the OP's review.

I know yeah it is a pretty cool car to get for courtesy I got a fiat 500. My mate has a merc tourer one of them new ones 65 plate all black model. Inside is probably one of the best cars I've sat in. That 2 seater just looks wrong to me its too square and heavy looking. It sort of reminds me of how audi have just ruined their latest TT making it too square at the front. Both Look like transformers more than sports cars
