Hey Guys and Girls I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

This afternoon I had parked my car outside a shopping center. I was sitting inside my car waiting for a freind. While I was waiting some drunk old lady in her 40s slammed her door right into the side of my car.. So I get outside to have a look and there is a dent the size of a 50c coin. No paint has come off so is it possible to get this fixed without having to repaint the entire door ?

The car is a brand new Mazda and is insured. I tried to talking to the lady but she ignored me and started peeing right in front of me in a public car park ....So I just left it at that.

I have never been in a accident or in this kind of situation before so I wasn't quite sure what to do.

I really would hate to have the whole door painted because of a tiny dent but on a black car it does stand out a lot :(

It's hard talking to a peeing drunk!

Police as Mark suggested could have handled her - and she ain't a lady!

Where's your location so that someone here can recommend a Dent Dr > fixes dents at $80-90 each dent; a lot cheaper than paying insurance excess

You can try to get that panel take out by a panel shop, heated up and then they can try to knock it back into place from the inside and then buffed on the outside to fix it up.

It should be ok. Good luck.

    • Being this happened about 4 years ago, i honestly forget exactly what is was, but I wound bringing to Simon at SR Werks when he was here in NY. He was able to properly diagnose and repair. I believe it had to do with the harness behind my dash. 
    • It's because the air comes in over #3 & #4. The two "dead" ends of the plenum are at #6 & #1, with #6 being a little more "compromised" (Sorry about all the quote marks) than #1, due to the shape. So you get the dead end effect at #6 & #1 where dynamic pressure converts to static pressure, likely causing the air flow to be highest for these. The others are then just working in from the ends to the centre. 6 -> 1 is only valid for FFPs.
    • Cut back on the attitude champ, no one is obligated to help you. The chances of Forester owners on here are quite low, considering this forum is called Skylines Australia. https://www.subarupartsdeal.com/parts/subaru-under-cover-front~56410sa000.html ^ that picture looks wrong, because if you see the diagram, 56410SA070 looks correct. You can always check where the mounting holes are on your car, and compare them to the pictures.
    • Hey Duncan, I've always set them up from 6 -> 1. Due to slightly higher EGT's, I also add a small amount of fuel to cylinder 6 & 5. I understand why you start at 6 but curious as to why you then continue somewhat based on firing order? Thanks
    • United E85 is always 85% ethanol. At least it claims to be. But that goes out of the window about thirty seconds after you put a tank of it into your car and can't do the math to determine if you have 76% ethanol, or 47% ethanol or 26% ethanol because you put 33L in, then 16L in, then a full tank of 98, then "Some" E85. Ethanol tunes that aren't full flex or full E85 all the time are just absolutely a waste of time. Don't be stupid and ruin your car.
