well tell him if he does a good job he can sort mine out. Or see how he does it and let us know. :-)

Ill spare you my rant on parking dings. Needles to say it does my nut RIGHT in.

Cost for 5 panels doesnt sound too bad i guess.

£200 for 5 panels sounds good, I am about to pay £60.00 for 1 panel, passenger side rear door

You can do it yourself with an electric hot air paint striper and a Co2 fire extinquisher.  :y
In theory, but I have never tried it :D There are products to do it with, there was a thread on this recently, I hava a small dent on a door, need to pluck up the courage to try it. ::) ::)
