Dent Removal?

Well my zeds has now been modified with thanks to tescos carparks and thier customers!

I can't believe someone couldnt have realised they'd done this. No note left just an empty space next to it when we got back.

My question is, can this be removed by the local dent man in a van or does it need body shop treatment, my concern is that its badly creased but having never used a dent service before I havent a clue!

Any advice? Its the only photo ive got of it at the moment (drivers door)

gutted mate it pisses myself off peoples lack of respect for our pride and joy. its a shame you didnt see them do it so you could knock 10 shades out of them. normally its down to jelousy they dont care about their shitty cars so why should they care about yours. you may need a half spray on the door a crease normally never comes out 100%,

but im no qualifyed person so its worth a try ringing one.

Gutted for you mate ....

I had one pulled out and it looked the nuts and was £40 well spent. If I were you I'd get someone out for an opinion. Even if they have a go and it's not good enough for you, at least you'll know that it couldn't be done. If you go and spend £300 on a re-spray fill etc you'll always wonder.

Where are you .... you may get some recommendations.

As long as the paint isn't broken those dent places can make it look as new (apparently). I've never used one but heard good reports from a few people. What i would say though is that they tend to be franchises so i guess it's the guy and not the company you need to check out.

i got some idiot throwing a beer bottle at my car as i drove past a pub last week and it hit the roof and shattered. The roof and boot are covered in broken paint work as well as a sod off dent from the original impact. Might give get the dent out but the paints another matter
