wheel arch plastic extension damage

SYNCRO · Post by **SYNCRO** » Sat Dec 24, 2011 12:24 pm

Some person has whacked the side of the 'rocco whilst parked in Tescos in a remote out of the way bit.

The Drivers side front wheel arch plastic extension was rubbed by a red car, the red paint has been polished out but there is now a gap of about 5 mil for about 5cms along the top
of the arch extension.

Will I have to have the whole lot taken off and remounted or do you think the metal wing itself has been distorted??

Not a happy bunny as I did park it out of the way to try and prevent this sort of thing happening

that's probably a bent wing then, sorry dude.

might be worth having a word with tesco and see if they got it on cctv. if they are unreceptive, write to them and make a data protections request for any film of you or your car from that day and time (much more work for them, but they are allowed to charge for it. i think it's a tenner)

Cheers M8Y

That's what I was thinking

This will ruin a totally original 'Rocco

Well totally peed orf

Now I know why Clarkson made those remarks!!

had very similar on frankenrocco when i first bought it. removing the bodykit revealed a kink in the metal arch. nothing that a good paintless dent guy won't be able to sort out

Cheers Nate. I'm looking at seeing DubzbyDan who is near me in Braintree

Sorted by the guys at Dunmow Coachworks who deal more with higher end prestige cars...........but were more than happy to sort me out.

Total £30.00 inc refitting the rubber strip on the other wing

Thanks guys

Cheers Nate looks a lot better than it did!

Wasn't as bad as we thought, no wing damage undermeath, just broken adhesive

He did look abit out of place amongst all those bent Porsche / Ferraris and Bentleys!!

when i used to work for plumb centre, our tansit got crashed and went into a local bodyshop for repair. they do more rebuilding that accident stuff, and it was parked in their workshop between a TR6 and a silver cloud

the repair stood out really badly too, as the finish on the paint was way too good
