Default So how good are dent removal people?

Was booked in to get all four doors done and a couple of wings, but not sure if they can do this one!

Sorry but what has four doors and a couple of wings got to do with a rear end shunt??

Of course your car can be repaired but from the picture it looks as though it needs a new bumper, boot lid, bumper brackets, and probably boot floorpan repair.

It can be repaired but it's going to cost you a fair few pounds!!

Nothing to do with the wings and doors though ??

After having my Sti 05 for just 9 weeks, some muppet opened thier car door against my car denting the door..... I got a dent expert out and the job he did was unreal. You would never know there was a dent. It also saved having the whole side of the car painted. £60 well spent in my opinion.

Easy buy a cheap impreza with front damage, cut it in half and weld the back of it on to your car. As long as you dont drive to fast the back end shouldnt fall off.

Seriously, Easiest way would to get 2nd hand bits from e-bay and GRADE A subaru breakers in Hatfield and replace them yourself and get a proffesional to spray the parts you have fitted.

Rear Tailgate

Rear Bumper

Rear Spoiler

A lot cheaper then £4k
