There is a guy who came to one of the rolling road days at Power Engineering and to the last RR day at G Force in Aylesbury. He's pretty good..and honest - saved me a fair few £ by being straight up about his limitations. He also did a stirling job on a bitch of a dink I had on my rear wing.

No idea how to contact him but you may find something out by sniffing round in the Southern section. He's from the Gatwick area IIRC.

Someone took a dislike to me one night a put there foot into the botom of my drivers door in my old 205.I got in contact with dentmaster, met him at a local car garage,had a good look at the ding,twenty minutes later it looked pretty good even by my standards.Something like thirty pound covered the bill i was delighted.Really depends where the ding is on the panel, but good luck...

That'll be a guy called Bobby from Dent 1st. Thought he was from around Essex way, but could be wrong.

Generally with these types of companies it's the individual technician that matters most. It's worth travelling to the skilled technicians rather than simply entrusting the job to whoever holds the local franchise.

There's also an excellent bunch of guys who run a company called LittleKnocks, in Harefield, near Uxbridge. All scoob owners, too.

Expect to pay anything up to £60 per panel. (Half that an event such as a RR day.)

Generally it's done without removing the door cards, but obviously depends on the dent & location.
