In the event of serious damage or the need to replace large areas due to oversight, it will be necessary to weld entire new panels. It is better to entrust this to professionals. If the damage is the result of a collision, the body alignment must also be fully checked and this can only be done accurately by a Peugeot/Citroen dealer using special tools. If the body remains skewed, it is, first of all, dangerous due to the deterioration of the vehicle's handling. Secondly, unbalanced stresses will occur in the steering, suspension, and possibly the gearbox, causing abnormal wear of the elements or their complete failure. This is especially true for items such as tires.
