Dent.
Managed to knock the car today like an idiot. First time in 15 plus years I have damaged a car other than stone chips. No paint broken and scratches/marks gone with t cut. Left with a small dent and crease. Any suggestions ?
All the best

I feel for you! You could try contacting one of those paintless dent removal people. You'd be surprised what they can do although it would involve removing the plastic wheel arch for them to get access to the rear of the dent. Send the pic to a few local PDR guys and see what they say. Good luck!

Thanks. I have contacted chips away that do dents. I'll see what they say. I'll keep you posted. I'll check out your links. Cheers

Fingers crossed.
As a last resort you could check out breakers on eBay with gun metallic QQs, and maybe replace the wing entirely.

A couple of companies come back today and view the picture think due to the crease and the dent they can't do it. Got a couple more still to try.
Thanks on the breakers tip. No idea how to replace a wing !

I think it's bolt-on. I have the service manual which details how to remove the associated bodywork. Hope it doesn't come to that!

Bullyboy, that crease in the Wing does not look nice whereas a Dent could most probably be knocked out "Filled" and sprayed. I asked our Dealer yesterday as I thought the Wing sounded to me "Plasticky" but he said it was Steel. As "Hound" has mentioned "Bolt On" Wing second hand or new is the option. I took a look at this website and they have a load of Wings but mostly for the J10 as most likely there are not so many J11 parts around (you will have to search it). There are most probably some eBay parts also on offer but whether these are Nissan OEM or from China is a good question. Might be worth a try - Dave

I looked on eBay for J11s being broken but the gunmetal QQs all look like they have had front end collisions. Will keep an eye out just in case.
