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........

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
