The other day i noticed that i had a dent made by someones doors on the left rear panel. I share a driveway with a neighbour and i noticed that they also have a chip on the edge of their right hand side rear door on the rear of their new calais.

I approached them and they said it could have been the kids but now say it couldn't have been them and say proove it was us.

What can i do? Should i just call my insurance company and let them deal with it?

I have been quoted $700 to fix it because the whole panel needs painting. Is this a good price or can i get it done cheaper? The dent is right on the sharp line that runs across the side of the r33.

try a paintless dent removal company, will m ore than likely be cheaper

Yeah they do some pretty good work as well.

Id start with a mobile dent doctor and go from there, the new company that is around now get good results without having to repaint panels :(

It's pretty noticeable in real life. I dont think a dent doctor would get it out. It needs painting also. Will i have much luck getting my insurance company to take care of them?

a dent doctor will make it look a whoooole lot better and after they are done it might only need a touch up with paint and end up been alot cheaper.

i have used a dent doctor in anotrher car and also ensured they do paint touch ups, came out looking Perfect!!! Cost me about 160. i used him about 3 times and he got used to me calling him :-) The worst one i did was worse than that and made a much bigger gash, so he filled it over with a small amount of bog, matched the paint code, touched it up, but clear over it and bobs your mothers brother........

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
