Valence/Dent Repair Pricing

[Threehz]

R3v,

I'm thinking about getting my valence fixed up because it's been bent and bruised to shit since I got the car. Also considering having some of the random dents and dings straightened out if it doesn't cost too much.

What kind of money should I be expecting to drop on something like this?

More than buying and painting a new valance probably...

More than buying and painting a new valance definitely...

Instead of getting the dents/paint scuffs on my DS car out, im simply replacing the fenders with perfect ones. im not too much of a detail freak to care about vin-matching fenders.

just take the valance off the car and straighten it yourself. its easy to do. that costs free....

i agree with him. If its not too bad just leave it alone, i have a dent on my valance too but its hardly noticeable.

More than you can afford, pal.

That's easier said than done... unless you have some secret method you'd like to share? I tried banging out my bent valance and even though it is relatively straight now, there are some spots that are just impossible to fix. Like I said though, if you have a special trick or tool you use I'd love to hear it because I could really use it as would many others I'm sure.

Well sounds like I'll be banging it out myself or attempting to! Seriously though, any tips/tricks/tools would be great to hear about.

If you plan to sell the car at some point in the future, you're costing yourself money by doing that. At least to an educated buyer.
