My doors especially the drivers one is look really rippled, what causes this, it seems to have just I cured naturally and gradually, there can't have been that many does opened into it?I was wondering if it's repairable by a dent man eg or even by a back to metal respray?

got a pic? sounds like a dent that's just been pushed out, not much you can do other than replace the door or have some filler over it.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Well I've hadCar for quite a long time now and it wasn't like that when I bought it, it's not like a dent thus been pushed out its more just ripped across the whole door, I see many 306's like this. I'll get a pic or two. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

I know what you mean Andy, ive seen loads of pugs of that age with ripply panels, im sure its down to the way they are, ive never ever seen an arrow straight panelled 306. Even mines got the odd ripple in the doors.________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

When the cars are made the doors are spot welded at the bottom, the heat then distorts the panels, not a lot you can do mate.Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.
