Hi there,

I was just wondering if any of you have a rough idea how much it would cost to fix these dents on a Citroen Saxo. I am not too sure whether the panels would have to be replaced? I have had an estimate, but it was over double of what the car is probably worth :s
Here is the link to show the damage:

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you very much :)

Ok, thank you. I was maybe thinking it is best to leave it too to be honest.

too big for a dent guy

just get another wing to sort the front and take it to a bodyshop for the rear quarter

I really wouldnt bother to be honest.
You're probably looking at a lot of money if you want it done properly which would be more than the cars worth.
The dents pretty big, theres also a fair amount of damage / rust on the door by the looks of it.

Thanks for all your replies. I was wondering that if i did get a new front wing, would it be a costly job to fit it?

Thought it was worth asking you guys as i don't want any garages ripping me off etc.

Might as well give it a go yourself. Its not hard to do, just a few nuts 'n' bolts.
Where about are you from? I'm sure if you're struggling, someone from here will be more than happy to help.

I'm from the Birmingham area. I think I should be okay as my uncle said he will take a look at it for me :)

Thank you anyway
