Dented Bumper

[GB.GJD]

Thought I would post this as it may help someone else.

I returned from holiday to find my beloved sc430 had a large (dinner plate size) dent in the front bumber. Needless to say the driver who caused the damage left no details.

I wondered if I could simply remove the trim from the inner wheel arch and pop the dent out by applying direct pressure. The trim was easy to remove and I managed to squeeze a hand in however could not get enough leverage to move the dent.

I looked on the net and found this clip on you tube.

This worked a treat, I need to get the paint touched up, however the dent has gone and the car looks much beter.

All the best

Glad you got is sorted without having to pay an arm and a leg

Glad to hear you have more or less got the problem sorted. I had some paint repairs done on mine recently along with other work and it cost me £80.00 so the cost from a local dent repairer should be around the same.

As for the dishonest driver that caused the damage I hope their bumper fell off!

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your replies. The car was parked at my girlfriend's flat in a private car park, it could have been hit by another resident but no one has admitted it (surprise surprise).

I thought about purchasing one of these -

But settled on one of these -

Its easier to install and less messy - set it up, it works fine and is good value esp when you use the online voucher I found giving £20 off
