DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Someone hit the 914 over Christmas. I got a none insurance quote (I'm not entirely sure what that means but) from a place we have used before. £750 for the wing. The problem with that is the sticker will have to be removed on damaged side and there will be fresh paint on one wing. Which look mismatched. Are the red Pegasus Stickers available?

I'm tempted to get a mobile dent remover to straighten it patch the paint myself. It will not be great but more in keeping with the car.

The nuclear option would be to just get the entire paint done. However, seems out of place for a car that has to live outside and can't be perfect.

That's the option I'd probably go for - if the paint's not a great match afterwards you could always cover it with another suitable decal/stcker.

The Pegasus stickers are available from numerous sources - eg 'Isaydingdong' via ebay.

Not sure what the side view is showing, and whether the wheel arch is dented more than is showing on the side on photo?

The side view does not look too bad, and a ‘Dent Master’ should be able to get most of that out.

Once done, try this method for fixing the area where the paint has come away?

I used Chips Away locally to repair far worse than that 5 years ago. Someone left me with deep dents in a hillclimb car park on my metalic custon paint Skoda.

Left it at their place for a day and it came back perfect and still is today. About £250 iirc.

A number of invisible repair companies have their own paint matching analysis guns and will paint it on the drive. They won’t warranty anything where rust has taken hold in my experience, but you can treat that first and leave them to blend in

I've ended up making an insurance claim

What's your insurance excess? Chances are you'll end up worse off...

I agree - it is a £200 repair at best

Did i see you in Lichfield last night? Blue 914 went past on St. John's street as I brought my daughter home from Guides.

Not me. Unless Mrs B did a secret run without telling me
