Post by: 3laner on April 04, 2007, 23:15:43

Found a nice defender on autotrader, local and pretty much exactly what im looking for apart from a bit of damage to the front (see pic). does anyone know how much this is likely to cost to repair and what would be involved??

absoloutly NOWT

my 90 has a bigger dent than that in the drivers wing & it dont bother me,

If you wanted to change the wing your looking £100 for a wing in the right colour or £100 for wing & £50 to paint it

As long as it hasn't damaged the headlight mounting it's not a major problem as lots of people have said Dents add character. If it's affected the headlight alignment you'll need to get it sorted out before the next MOT

as it's Aluminium you could probably beat most of it out with a big mallet.
