my tank got dented during the first week of me getting my new spec III, thought of repairing it too but change my mind as its too ex around $300 to $500, and even though the dent is quite big it can only be seen close up..

$30 at race werk at alexander...

 

But thats gonna depends on the dent itself...

Thought knocking out the dent have to do a respray as well?

[RageMyDream]

Then how about the meter casing? anywhere can buy the casing alone cos mine is cracked

[calvin]

can consider getting a 2nd hand tank if repair cost is to ex$$.....

 

jus swop the fuel cap over so that you dun need another keys for the tank.....

[ralliart_ray]

maybe buy a tank bra to cover over it...

[Ah jian_82]

No need unless ur paint work its scratched as well...

 

If jus knocking back it cost ard 30 - 80 onli...

about this.. i read somewhere about DIY to fix back your tank.

Try at your own risk!

 

DENTS & HAIL DAMAGE

Dry Ice will condense metal and thereby shrink small dents on your car. Place the Dry Ice on the inside of the dent if possible. Use heavy gloves and press flat sheet against dent. If it is not possible to get on the inside concave part of the dent, then using heavy gloves hold the Dry Ice so a corner can fit into the bottom lowest part of the cratered dent. Hold the Dry Ice until the metal is frosted at least 2 inches beyond the dent. Let the metal warm up (in the sun is the best) and repeat the procedure. Sometimes the dent will pop out perfectly. More often it will not be possible to get a flat smooth finish, but the dent will be reduced noticeably. Creased metal will still show the crease line but the dent will be far less pronounced. I have not seen any paint damage, but I'm sure if the paint is not strongly adhered, it could peel away.

 

 

Get The Dents Out

Gadget

 

This is one of those tips handed down through the generations father to son. At some point the verbal history lessons break down occassionally and things are missed like....well, like flashing headlights at oncoming vehicles to advise them a patrol car is just up the road looking for speeders....and, like, using dry ice to remove dings and dents.

 

Dent Removal:

 

This works on fuel tank and other dents that don't involve a "crease" in the metal. Purchase a piece of dry ice (frozen c02) at your local liquor store. It should be larger than your dent. Using thick gloves or a towel to hold the ice, apply it to the dented area. Hold the ice in place until frost forms at least an inch beyond the dent all the way around. Remove the ice and place the tank or metal part in the Sun if possible. If the trick works you'll be able to watch the dent vanish before your eyes. This also works to remove many parking lot dents in car doors.

For a 50cent dent and single colour respray, how much will it be? How much for tank bras? Roughly

Hi All,

I dented my fuel tank the size of a fist. Sigh.... do you guys know where is a good place to get it fixed? I read somewhere in this forum about this place located at Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 Ind Park 2. Vitalway I think but he has since moved to somewhere else.

 

Does anyone know where this shop/person has moved to?

 

Thanks in advance!
