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.

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!

    • When you say basic rebuild, you mean an oem rebuild?
