Hey Guys and Girls I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

This afternoon I had parked my car outside a shopping center. I was sitting inside my car waiting for a freind. While I was waiting some drunk old lady in her 40s slammed her door right into the side of my car.. So I get outside to have a look and there is a dent the size of a 50c coin. No paint has come off so is it possible to get this fixed without having to repaint the entire door ?

The car is a brand new Mazda and is insured. I tried to talking to the lady but she ignored me and started peeing right in front of me in a public car park ....So I just left it at that.

I have never been in a accident or in this kind of situation before so I wasn't quite sure what to do.

I really would hate to have the whole door painted because of a tiny dent but on a black car it does stand out a lot :(

It's hard talking to a peeing drunk!

Police as Mark suggested could have handled her - and she ain't a lady!

Where's your location so that someone here can recommend a Dent Dr > fixes dents at $80-90 each dent; a lot cheaper than paying insurance excess

You can try to get that panel take out by a panel shop, heated up and then they can try to knock it back into place from the inside and then buffed on the outside to fix it up.

It should be ok. Good luck.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
