Sum bar stool has put a rather unatractive dent in my wing which im far from pleased about[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Anyway paint doesn't seem to be to badly damaged as the yellow (although it looks orange duz it?) seems to almost wipe off but anyhow i have seen threads about dent removal b4 but not payed much attention as i didnt have any!
However now i do i want rid, just wondered if any of u peaps had any tips &/or ideas how much im guna b lookin at forking out for this forkin damage!

If the paint cleans off and there is just a dent left, about £40.00 using Dent Devils. It might not roll out perfect though as the metal looks to have stretched a fair bit.

I just fixed EXACTLY the same thing and got the car back last Friday. It cost me 195 pounds and two days with no car.

The whole of the drivers wing and bumper were resprayed with the wing being taken off to push out the dent. Some filler was used to smooth the ripple for a good spraying surface.

Mine is a metallic grey/blue and i must admit you would never know what happened.

We don't have anything here like "Dents-u-Like" or whatever companies you have for removing them but my first reaction would be to say it is too deep to simply squeeze out. Not good news but hopefully useful.

Reciprocated sympathies m8.

What goes through these peoples minds ... oh dear I've hit someones expensive looking car, ... maybe if I quickly get on my way no-one will notice and I'll pass all the grief onto the poor schmuk I've hit..hehehe !!

Hope it doesn't cost too much to sort!
