I scratched my new Logan (Fiery Black). In fact it&#8217;s bit more than a scratch&#8230; a rather deeply indented dent but thin, narrow one&#8230; say half inch by 2 inches, just above the front tyre. Also some scratch marks and some slight surface plastic peel-off on a small part of front fender. Actually, the scratch is not at all obvious, unless one looks closely, but the metal beneath is exposed. And definitely don&#8217;t plan to leave it as-is.<\/p>\n<p>My rough estimate based on another friends&#8217; Logan&#8217;s body-repair costs, is that if the metal panel (the one just over the wheels) is changed, it&#8217;d cost me atleast 8-10K at the dealer&#8217;s authorized workshop. Is there a cheaper alternative ?? How reliable are they, and what are the pitfalls to be aware of.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance to all fellow petrol-heads for their advice.<\/p>\n<p>cheers,<br \/>\nBD<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, Looking for some advice on what to do.
