Rajzed Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I have a question.. What options are there to remove the damage caused by hailstones on my car? There are around 20-30 small little dents on the bonnet, roof and bootlid each (slightly less on the bootlid). I know the options are to take it to a garage and pay them to get it fixed, but Nissan quoted me £3000-£5000 which is slightly bonkers. I have potentially looked into buying second hand bonnets, but I'm looking at £300 or so for that. And another £300 or so for the bootlid. Prices based on used stuff around on the internet. This leaves the roof for a garage to do?! Has anyone had any luck with any dent removal companies, if so how good can they be, and is it expensive?? Oh and there's 2 small areas where it has actually cracked the paint.. Could it potentially cheaper if I just try and fill and sand all the small dents myself and then pay a garage to get the car resprayed?? I have no idea! This is my first car! I am not bothered on timing, I have all the time in the world to get this fixed, as I have purchased my zed in this condition. Any kind of advice would be very much appreciated!

Rajzed Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yes.. Haha! It's slowly starting to bug me.. Not sure when I'll snap and splash the cash to get it fixed. Luckily the snow is hiding it all at the moment haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 You can probably get a Bonnet cheaper than that but you might have to be patient same with the boot lid. I'd go round for some paint less dent removal comapies and get some quotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajzed Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Did you buy Hassans car? Ouch! So his insurance didn't sort it out? Yeah his insurance did sort it, but he got a cash in leiu offer, took the cash and sold the car too. But he gave me a good deal! Hassan is an awesome guy! Looked after me in the sale. Just very frustrating now.. I didn't think the dents would bother me, but I've had it half a year now and I get jealous looking all the non dented 350z on the forum! Haha!
