    That back door was repaired before by the looks of it.

    I'm not a repairer but I'd imagine repairing would be under €1000 assuming no new panels go on.

    It was before i bought it. why i'm thinking i should just replace it .

    To be fair it would have been grand!

    Finding a used one without dents would be tricky, they're very prone to dings. In my (unqualified) opinion you'd be as well off filling it again. Its the quarter panel that got the worst of it and that's a pig of a job to replace.

    Possibly better to fix those dents and scratches cheaply, and keep the savings to buy better tyres. Might save you more dents in the future :D

    Well, as OP has got one of the worst tyres available on the market fitted to his car, I though it would be appropriate to mention this fact to him, as he genuinely might not be aware of that.

    In fairness i didn't know at the time how crap those tyre's are and it was either be hit by her or pull in .Didn't see the Metal post out a foot from the wall after the bend

    What does it matter what tyres are fitted to the op's car? What relevance is it to the op's question?

    Maybe if you came down off your horse and offered the op advice on their query it might be more helpful.

    Matters, because safety depends on it.
    What relevance is it to the op's question?
    Absolutely none. I pointed this as off topic, just because I noticed it.

    I can't offer OP any advice on his query because I don't know answer to his question.

    Hmm lets see, maybe the op wasn't aware of how crap the tyres were on the car.

    the best ones you can afford.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,520 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    If you're buying tyres at the low end of the scale, a brand you've heard of is a start, don't be fooled by the old "they're pirellis budget brand" or "they're made in the same factory as Bridgestone" or "we're selling loads of these King Wong ones, I have them on my own car"
