    I think you mean "be" and no, it needs to be fixed. Dents are unacceptable.

            It probably would but im saying at most, and it cost me 140 to paint my whole car so u wouldnt pay even 50 for fender repaint. Front what i seen you do if thinking you could paint and fix that fender your self.

                I think you mean dents are unavoidable. Same thing with windshield chips. Once you replace the damn thing you get another star or crack.

                        I'm not going to be happy when I get my body work done and a respray, but the cost will be worth it. "Dents are unacceptable." I invite you to enjoy the bounty on my car. ;)

                          Yeah, if you are happy with the lousy quality of the dupont paints you bought. The quality which is very visable on your car... but this thread isn't about your lousy car, or if you are happy with your $140 paint job

                            I know a few people who have bought brand new cars and put a dent in them just so they can say that they were the ones toput the first flaw in it :shock:

                              hey jordan you might not want to blame the shop for this man,

                              Maybe its camera angles but it does not seem to be in this pic....





                              but regardless looks nice. I have assigned namesto all all dings on the cabrio, the M however does not get parked in any public spaces so im happy.



                              i am sure you can see 3 on this side alone

                                It was the body shop. Ask Josh or Andrew. They both saw my car the day after it came out, and will attest to the dent being there. It is impossible to mar clearcoat almost 2 months later.

                                I should add that the dent was not there when I brought the car to them.
