and the dent is now a dimple!
not as bad as i feared, but bad enough
hopefully a local guy is coming to take a look
2morro,
does anyone have a rough idea of cost please.
many salaams

I have a very small dent in my roof from something similar I suspect. The dent guy wants £25 call out and £25 to do the work.

jeez i wish i could have 5 mins alone with these cretins
i work so hard,so that these people(i use the term loosely)
can stay in bed all day, and roam the streets at night
and now to me anyway,my lovely well cared for car
looks tut.............
so my question is, could this dent be pulled out?
if so does anyone know of anyone?
i'm in the north kent area,10 mins from dartford bridge tolls
kents newest car park.......

Hi that's bad new's but anything can be repaired i think you have to grit your teeth
and decide weather to repair the dent then have the bonnet resprayed or get hold of a replacement bonnet and have that resprayed either way it's a pain in the butt but somewhere it will have to be painted and if the repair of the dent is'nt up to scracth it will show there are load's of body shop's in our area , hope all goe's well

I have a number of dings in mine which I'd love to get rid of but can't afford at £X per ding. I wondered whether we could get someone to do the jobs at Cosford but didn't appreciate the rules on trade stands etc.

Do any of you guys reckon it would be worth trying to get us 'dented ones' to a common location to negotiate a price for a days dent removal.

Maybe a halfords or alike?

May well be a pants idea as I haven't investigated this?

I have removed 19 posts from this thread, none of which had any direct bearing on the point of the thread or the main thrust of the thread. ie where to get a dent repaired. If you wish to take this further then do it in PM, either between yourselves or with me.

I am sure we all feel for the OP and for my part I am glad said object thrown from bridge did not hit the screen and cause a serious accident.

Metal can be repaired.

Paintless dent removal, is the way to go if the paint is undamaged. They will not offer to repair if the paint is damaged. They usually charge per panel, so if you have multiple dents on one panel then you should be subject to a single charge for the panel.
As a guide. £50.00 per panel, £75.00 for multiple dents on a panel, providing it is not a double skinned area. That is what I paid last time and there is no sign that any damage was ever there.

Please keep this on topic.

Thank you.
