So I just tried to take the daily driver through a car wash a clipped the drivers side turn signal lense. I thought fuck, thats gona run me $50.00 for a new lense, but it got better. I got out and checked and of course it crunched the fender a little bit and of course it broke the paint. Also the car is an pearl white audi which has a special color mix. Anyway, I'm not really sure what I should do. It seems like it could run me a ton for this, or maybe I could just get away with pushing it out and painting it. Hard to say, I'm just frustrated and thought I would turn to my favorite group of car guys for advice.

For a daily driver, I'm a sort of "push it out, make sure it doesn't rust, and run it" kind of guy. I figure it's gonna get damaged, and new paint will not always look new. Eventyally the whole car is going to need paint, and if it's still around then, that's when I deal with making it perfect.
I bet you're going to get a wide spectrum of answers, but it just boils down to what you want to do. |
