Body repair — significant damage (Mitsubishi Colt 2)

1. Significant damage to the body must be repaired at service stations that have equipment for body repair.

2. If there is extensive damage, the geometry of the body should be checked. It may also affect the handling characteristics of the car or cause other components to wear out faster.

3. Because all major body components (hood, fenders, etc.) are separate items that can be replaced, it is best to replace them rather than repair them. Sometimes the required parts can be found in used parts stores, which is much cheaper than buying new ones.
