Reversed Into My Rock Mail Box, How Much In Damages?

[Awesome]

Yo, i reversed into my hard rock mail box.. dont know why.. i knew it was there.. ==" im an idiot i noe

Anyway, theres like a small dint and like some paint scraped off on the right side of the bumper bar... how mch will it cost to fix?

A mate said i shold get a new bumper bar and paint it...

bumper bar = $100 plus $100 for paint?

$200 ?? Is that it?

or is it more?

let me know. thanks

Looking at about $150-$200 just for the bar and another $200 at least to prep and paint.

well did u f**k the bar up completely?

if its still ok....its ALOT cheaper to just repair it and re-spray it....

coz all they are gonna do is bog it up with putty......sand it down and then re-spray and on the outside after the spray u never could tell it was there before.

and plus....... is it a GTS-t?...

i personally think the Stock GTS-t bar dont look good at all......but still......you'll be suprised how much they are brand new if you get them from japan....

worth alot more than those Fibreglass crap from those body kit workshops.

lastly, it depends on how fussy you are with the appearance...

if they respray it...respraying the whole bar ..the whole thing will look new.... but if you get one section painted...they will blend the paint in with the rest of the bar....

you probably wont notice if they do a decent job...

ive seen some real good examples of respraying sections and blending it in...you will not guess with an un-trained eye......

Go see Vu @ DT panels in Springvale, from memory if it's white or common colour $150 (I paid $200 cos mine's Midnight Purple), he did great work for this price and great bloke too.

well im not from melbourne but if you check your Yellow pages im sure heaps of pannel beater workshops will.

if its a small dint.....did you try polishing it yet?

usually if i scratch the car or something i buff it with polish

5 out of 10 times it can remove alot of the excess crap off...

then if it does.......i wouldnt really worry about a tiny dint if it were me....
