Oh dear - possible respray?
 
Morning all, had a bit of a misshap at the weekend and bashed a bollard.

It dented the front passengers side wheel arch bit - or to be more specific the area right next to the headlights / side lights. Anyway ive managed to pop this out by removing the light and pushing the dent out ( it just popped out ). It doesnt look too bad but theres a slight crease where the curvature of the panel used to be.

Anyway ive taken the corner of the front bumper down to the black plastic unfortunately. Is it worth having a go at touching this up with my touch up paint or is it a professional job to fix? Would it be possible with a combination of building up the scratch with touch-up and then t-cutting the paint in to get a good finish - or would it never look anything but bodged?

Thanks

Adam

Sounds like a bodyshop is needed m8 - I wouldnt touch it up as it will only bug you in the long run :)

I'm getting pretty good at touching in stone chips and the like now, but what you describe is way, way more than I woud ever take on, and from the sound of it a bodyshop is definitey required if a decent repair is to be made. :)
