A deer hit my car,

I hate deer.

I braked and missed the first one coming from the beach, the second one RAN INTO MY CAR WTF?!

Fucking deer, i'm not that mad about the dent.. mostly the fender flare because i can't buy them single, sold in sets only.














Took the flare off, the deer bent the original flare back in on itself.











I was able to pound the upper dent back into shape, lower one was a pain in the ass.













It came out okay, lots of little bumps from the hammer, but bondo will fix that



I didn't take a picture, but i used a wirebrush to take down all of the paint in the effected areas down to the metal










Lots and lots of sanding











Getting there slowly.













Finising up with glazing putty











Not perfect, the extreme lower portion of the car still has a small dent to it, i can't pound it out without cutting the quarter panel off the car.. i was going to build up the bondo but in the future it would look terrible.

Its okay for now, maybe one day i will get it pulled professionally with the proper puller ( i dont own one)

Also the fender is still damaged, i fixed what i could.

  1. Now that was unfortunate. Sad thing what happened to your fender flare. But nevertheless, you did a great job fixing the broken area. In the end, it seemed like it didn’t have any dent at all! Who’s bondo, btw?
