Noticed yesterday there's a small dent on my bonnet at 1st I thought it was just the light but it's defo a dent, really don't know how it's happend and not happy :angry: there's no marks in the paint or anything there's no football shaped mudprint on there nothing just a dent, had a look under the bonnet and it's right above a double skinned part so can't even try and push it out, does anyone know how much dent masters cost may be time to give them a bell to get this and my door dings sorted f :tsktsk: ing supermarkets :crybaby:

If its double skinned then a Dentmaster might not be able to get to the dent?

My local dent guy charges £45 per panel- the panel can have one dent or several dents I pay £45. So if you have several dents in several panels the cost will go up.

Sorry to hear that Andy

Cost wise will probably be around the £40-50 mark maybe worth ringing round a few of them - the skin/lining should come off & they can hopefully be able to get to it

I too would be surprised if they can get it out. It always seems to happen to me that a dent is always over a double skinned area

Cheers I'm gonna have a proper look tomorrow an see if I can get at it didn't have much time this morning, the only thing I can think of is someones leaned on it, don't suppose there's any way it can be heated up and sucked back into shape :unsure:

How big is the dent mate? could you use one of the small dent pullers on it? a few years ago i used a sink plunger on one and worked a treat :lol:

like one of these? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mini-Dent-Puller-Repair-Removal-Suction-Cup-Tool_W0QQitemZ350211890548QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint?hash=item518a415d74&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10|66%3A2|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50"] [b]CLICK ME[/b]? [/url]

Might work matey it's not a very big dent and only noticeable in certain light and at certain angles, anyway i'll find out when it arrives at that price it's worth a shot cheers Chris :D
