Takeover (Covid-19/20)

can't you just push that back out ?

 

I've watched a vid on YouTube where they put boiling water on it and use a plunger to pull it out. I'd probably make it worse if I tried to sort it

 

you can try that, but you might be able to remove the inner panels on your boot and just push it out by hand.. then just refit panels..

or even take out light and see if you can get your hand behind it from there ...

 

If the panels come off easy enough I might try that tomorrow

 

Exactly my point to my wife when she complains about how much salt I put on my food. No point eating bland food if I die by being knocked down by a bus before I get to 35 yo.

 

they usually do.. clip and fit .. maybe a few screw fittings somewhere... literally all that a stopping you is a sheet on plastic and maybe a layer of carpet.. depends on the car I dunno

 

the thing is you're much more likley to die a slow agonising death through old age and bad health choices than getting off lightly and being ran over by a bus

 

Is there a chance the paint might come off when I push it out though? That's when things get expensive

 

doubt it would it should just pop out nicely

I had a massive one I popped out on an Astra..

 

I'll try that, doesn't look hard. If it works I owe you a pint. Or a bowl of muesli

 

muesli please

 

@Ben 10 looking at where the dent is I think you should be able to like.. if it was anywhere else like the the middle I don't think you'd be able to.

 

If I get the panel off I'm going to heat it up with her hairdryer then try and push it out

 

aye and use a sponge or something to even out the pressure.. it'll work like mate just don't be shy with the panels they do take a bit to clip off

 

You mean push the sponge onto the back of the dint aye?

 

I defo if your heating it up .. or use a glove... it should just pop out onto it's original position just dnt be too heavy handed.. work it like you work a woman

 

He’s hardly going to buy his car a drink!!!!

 

@Ben 10

If it's raining don't go outside with your hair dryer

let me know how u get on mate

good luck

 

TBF a mate of mine at work had his number plate cloned and put on another car the same as his. They then proceeded to do as much criminal sh*t as you can think of all over London. Literally did not give a hoot about any rules either so was getting parking fines, congestion charges, fines for driving the wrong way up the one way system all from CCTV footage. Went on for ages.

Thing is the police couldn't really do anything without catching them red handed and all the fines and things were just getting automatically triggered so individual local authorities were chasing him for payment of fines and he was getting points on his license, court summons etc but no one was really listening to him.

We were wetting ourselves at work laughing about it as every week it was like what have they done now but for him it was an absolute nightmare at the time.

 

The police don't really do anything these days

But even after he mentioned it did he still get the fines and stuff?

Shocking that. I reckon if my number plate was on display Chaos would be doing the same
