Default Dented fender

Just an FYI on cost to replace fender over the wheel. Approximately $900 to replace, remove/install, and match the paint.

Any decent dent to the fender is tough to deal with due to their being 3 distinct lines over the wheel well, which makes it very difficult to align and make look like new.

The speed of the car when the dent occurred was about 2 miles/hr while backing out of my driveway. I would rather not discuss it too much as I am very upset with the idiots across the street who always park in front of my house and were pulling out at the time that assisted in causing me to turn my wheel too far. It was my fault, but I am very bitter at the moment.

Sorry to hear that dude! It really hearts your head when you get a dent in your new baby! I had this idiot fat lady WAP my Ignition Red BMW 325ci Convertible 3 days after I got it. She was so BIG she had to use her door as a leaver to assist getting out of her car and was so WIDE she had to open the door to it's maximum opening to exit. of course... Even though I felt I left more then enough room between our cars - in her case to leave enough room I would have had to have left an entire parking space between us. I was heartbroken... however I was also VERY LUCY because the dent was fixable by DentWizard for around 250.

I keep telling myself that once it is fixed all will be well, but right now I'm embarrassed to be driving it with a big dent in the front left. I feel I have done the car a disservice, which I have.

Depression...sadness...feelings of remorse...aaaaahhhhhh

****ing neighbours suck sometimes. I had a small dent on mine once when I of all people dropped a ladder on it. Ford fixed it for 65 dollars. They put an instrument on it and beeped it out. Sorry dude!
