Filler wasn't saving this one๐ณ
This Corsa came in with a tear right on the panel line. Which revealed poor previous repairs involving high amounts of filler. To make the job right, we decided the best route was to replace the 1/4 panel.
Jobs like this can be repaired but itโs often, as in this case, more cost effective to replace the panel.
Why? The 1/4 panel is single skinned so it is very flimsy, pulling/panel beating can often make this panel even weaker. Not to mention the amount of hours we would need to spend repairing this. A lot of places may be willing to repair this but at Coopers we pride ourselves on putting your car as close to manufactures standards as possible. Weโre not robots but we try our best ๐คฃ
There was only one man for the jobโฆ Gilly got straight to work cutting out the panel and executed a full factory standard 1/4 panel replacement. Restoring the vehicles original strength and crumple zones.
We also supplied and fitted a brand new rear bumper which was test fitted against the adjacent panels before it saw any prep/paint to ensure that the gaps lined up perfectly.
The rear door was primed and painted and we also blended the paint into the front door so that there was a seamless, unnoticeable colour match down the entire side of the car.
As a finishing touch we re-finished the A-pillar in gloss black to bring the Corsaโs signature style back to life.
When you bring your car to Coopers you can have peace of mind knowing your repair is structurally sound from the inside outโค๏ธ
