CB this morning was going for breakfast before work pass by a side road driving very slowly then THUNG! very loud... tot was just tire ran over stone or something. Then stopped at makan shop just around the corner saw my left side door dented in must be some stone or projectile hit.

But funny as there's no other cars around me and it looks like it came 90deg to the door. I presume some fking @ss throw the stone or whatever at my car lucky not hit glass but rear door. Now I'm getting paranoid driving the car only 7 days old kena dengki already smile_disapprove.gif

What should i do to get the car fixed - go back to sc? or do outside? anyone can help?

morning bro rikeys..
aisey.. very unfortunate on the dent.. sorry to hear..
i was browsing through the AW forum yesterday.. found out Chips Away may do some trick to correct the dent..
try and survey first and see how.. or can also check with SC if they can do quick fix.. but doubt so..

Bro rikey,


Are you anal about your car's appearance? If yes then no choice but to repaint the entire door. If not that anal, you can try this touch-up paint that is selling in C4 or Eneos or other hypermarkets; Autospa. They got both paint and clear coat but dunno got Forte's color or not coz still very new in the market. Read the thread below and post for guidance if need be and there will be sifus in this area to help.

Stone chip repair ideas

As someone has mentioned, was there anyone cutting grass nearby? Or was there any big/small construction nearby the incident area? These grasscutters/construction works are the usual suspects.


Regards.

i cant touch up lar cause the metal panel is sunken in can see obvious
imagine its was so loud inside the car u can guess how hard that object hit the door!

also it was 7am this morning lar no grass cutter or any construction worker start work yet lor!
main road on the right i was inside a smaller inner lane and left was an open area so i guess someone from left threw the thing.

Wow Forte base metal so tin milo, how many um thickness. can't even withstand flintstone. I thought kia should have improved since spectra as my one had tons of stone chips and now pasted with so many ello kitties. But when I look at my family rides, volvo, merc and totoyol, how cum didn't see stone chip, these cars were bought before proton days and those days the volvo cost rm28k, the merc rm55k and totoyol 18k. My deep suspect is err Naza want to get better margin, ask Kia to optimally shave off anything that can be shimmed off. As a result, you'll get everything just within the max spec tolerance and some that would not really affect the ride, just take out altogether (the rondo idle vibration). But sokay, just my quip. Each one is entitled to your own opin. No offence. I enjoys my spectra 520km/tank gas. Hola Los Todos.
