Sharpie Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 My Neighbour had a hit and run happen to her and asked me if it can be repaired ? Is it possible to pull these two dents out ? (Might need re-chroming afterwards) http://home.btconnect.com/mkivsupra/VW/DSCN1978.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraHuman Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 you can cut away the damaged pipe and weld in a new piece.and re-chrome it ofcourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I was going to say that bull bar might not be too expensive but then I noticed mercedes on the plate. Its lucky it was there or the damage could have been worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 The amount or work in cutting out that section, welding new bit in, stripping all chrome and then re-chroming would cost far more than just replacing (and it might turn out crap) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must look after the penny's these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Well, if it was mine I'd get stainless tube bent at work and welded for nowt but it ain't mine and I don't know the person Most people don't have access to the equipment or matl. so they would pay through the arse more for it to be fabricated as a one off than to buy a new one, even at Merc prices.

toyotasuprauk Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Let us know how much they charge would be interesting to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 whack the other side , nobody will notice anythings wrong. on a serious note as lovatt said its scrap, ive been fabricating stainless pipe for years , and unless youve got the right bending machinery , it would be impossible to make .

SUPRALOOPY Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 get another one as the cost of repair will be too much!!!!!!!:thumbdown or you could take it off get the dents repaired and have it painted silver or something, but that would still cost alot of doe!
