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.

    • I don't know specifically. I *do* know that it is very likely that historically most/all undertray replacements remove the inner liners and people just run without them. When you are hectic (or serious) enough to really want/need a different undertray, you are probably also running wider, taller or different offset wheels and the guard liners are the first thing that rub (or as I said in the other thread, they blow out at high speeds anyway) Of course, that is before the pricing went nuts on R34s, nowdays it is much more likely people want/expect to retain the liners to protect their overall investment
    • Haven’t had a chance to drive it properly yet. It was rwd and pissing down rain when I drove it home and now it’s in the air with the so I can change the oil. Going to do the  gearbox oil while I’m at it as well, may even do the diffs 
    • On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.  
    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
