My Fiat Stilo damage

clivvy · 22-07-2012, 14:36

heyup chaps.

I have put this in the Pub because its not even nissan related!! I am just hoping for your sage advice

so, I have a 3 door, Fiat Stilo. I adore the car. Last night, I was reversing down the drive when i lightly scraped the concrete post that stops a car from falling off the edge. The damage is heavy scratches as you would expect, and minor dents that need pulling/tapping out.

now, i Have never had this sort of issue before, and as I really love this car, I want to get it fixed. I am looking at these mobile repairers,are they any good? this is the damage:

as the panels are pretty flat, and the colour nothing special, does it look like a regular repair job? what do you reckon the costs are?

Is the concrete post OK???

Sent you a PM Clivvy

Jim

PS hope you're proud of that car. Not so often you come across a FIAT that's still standing after a bump like that

I was going to offer some advice......But as its a FIAT, i can't be arsed.

A Mav would of ripped the post out and beat the gate to death with it.

lol, you're all mean.

the concrete post is fine, smug little shit. Think i might use the Mav to rip it out.

it would be cheaper and easier to replace the wing and door. there must be hundreds in the scrap yard:
