Default Small dent removal

Folks,

some kind person has saw fit to leave a small dent in the n/s wing of my pride and joy.

Its just above the wheel arch and has'nt broken the paint.

It looks like someone has either lent against it of kicked a football against it, you can't really notice in the light but you can see it under street lighting and looking down the length of the car.

Looking at it, it seems you could probably push it out from the other side but I would'nt want to have a go and make it worse

Anyone know someone in the West Midlands?

Cheers

Nathan

p.s I would post a photo but its really quite un-noticeable in the daytime

Not the most helpful perhaps but i had some nice **** dent my car and a local dent specialist fixed it for me (they said they had someone who specialised in aluminium dent removal).

Before





After





I did see Chipsaway and they weren't interested unfortunately the people i used only seem local to me.

Try phoning all the big dealership garages local to you mate.

I did, and they usually contract 'paintless dent removal' out. I'm going to my local(ish) Renault garage tomorrow to meet someone who is doing cars there. I used him before, and he removed about 3 dents. One was on a crease, and he did such a good job. Only charged £20 all in.........he hates chipsaway with a passion due to what they charge etc.

Are the prices above at "mates rates" or actual full prices?

Ive been lucky enough to receive a nice dent on my wing, local pdr guy says he cant get it out, it needs paint! Are there any companies who can just pop it out and blend the paint in? Otherwise its a case of getting the wing sprayed and then it probably wont match and a complete nightmare. F$%£in c***s, a complete lack of respect for other peoples property!
