I have had my STi Type UK only 4 weeks and it has a small dent in the aluminium bonnet already. The dent is about an 1.5" in diameter and was probably caused by a stone. Dent Devils had a look at it today, but could not repair it since the bonnet is double skinned.

Anyone have any ideas about how to get it repaired?

Whithout a fill in job,and full re-spray of the bonnet there is only one other option........brace yourself.
You need a metal hole cutter approx 2-2.5" dia,then you need to drill and cut a hole in the inner skin of the bonnet adjacent to the offending dent.When youve done this Dentmaster or similar company will carry out the repair,simply because they can now work on the dent.When they have finished you can buy a 2 or 2.5" dia rubber blanking plug to fit in the hole youve cut.
Suggest you live with it for a bit coz your bonnet is going to get peppered with stone chips within the next 4-6 months anyway,so wait then get the whole bonnet done at once.
