Hi Chris here from Lincolnshire,

Well, what a crap weekend. Took my wife to East Midlands airport and the way back i was in a wrong lane at an island, my fault tried to change lane and bang, a nice alfa gtv pranged me, so thats what has led me here. Used to be a member of the UK probe owners club, had some good meetings / car shows and definately invaluable help in finding parts etc. So thats where im going now, off to the wanted section!!

Oct 2006 at 18:05 Hi Mark, not bad, rear door is bent in about an inch though, cleaned the prang up and looks ok but car was near mint condition and ive only had it 5 months so i want it back in mint condition ASAP. Going to drive it and keep my eyes open for one being broken.

My first thoughts were its just the door strips then I noticed the dimple dent on the drivers door if it was just the door strips they could easily have been removed/resprayed, not sure really what the best thing would be to do.

Have you tried a suction cup dent puller on the dents it might work.

Not that this helps but good luck with getting it fixed.
