Repairing Damaged Bodywork

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Body

If your bodywork has suffered after a bad impact but the rest of the mechanics are fine, you can try to repair the damaged parts as best as possible. To remove the affected parts of the front and side bodywork, start by removing the front bumper and then the metal part above the wing. With a few taps using a plastic hammer, try to restore the shape as closely as possible to the original. Once done, refit the removed parts, ensuring all clips, connectors, and screws are correctly positioned. Give your bodywork a good polish, and the damage will be much less noticeable now.
