Crash damage :(

Hi. My Micra got bumped by a Bulgarian lorry recently. Not too much damage (thankfully!) but would appreciate thoughts on how to treat this "wound"

A, that sucks

2, If you can get behind it, push it back out, and get some paint on it.
Getting paint on it will prevent rust taking over

Yeh it does suck. The annoying bit was that I got out, so did he, and I was jogging back to where he was, and he saw me and got back in and drove off .

So he fled the scene? Did you get the number plate?

This was the rest of it - not much I can do with it is there?

Nope - and the funny thing is, I work in accident claims management. Not sure what a Bulgarian plate would have helped anyway.

That bigger dent in the door?
Replace the door?

 

[herclepercle]

Haha well I could but as the car is only worth about £300 and the door is still working it seems more fuss than it's worth

 

[Jen319]

T-cut it is then

 

[herclepercle]

Mmmhmm . Thanks for the help and sympathy anyway
