Wheel Guard Damage

Postby azzy9211 » Mon May 02, 2016 2:39 pm

I was looking to repair some damage done to my car rather then going through insurance as I believe it would be easier to just replace the damaged guard. Is there any info anyone can provide?

I'm looking for a 2008 CJ Lancer FR wheel guard. It seems like a small panel and I have the materials to fix it.

Even if someone could instruct me on how to remove the panel that would be GREATLY appreciated :lol:

All up by how damaged it is, if the cost involved to fix it, repaint and labor is lower than the insurance excess, than go ahead with it

Front is a relatively easy fix with a new part, rear is more complicated but it doesn't look too dented so a panel beater should be able to get it strait and resprayed to loo like new.

Cost depends on your excess but it could cost more than you think unless you can DIY the job or have friends who can help.
