I had a Renault that was in and out of a local body shop after a front end shunt. The bonnent was dinked in a couple of places and after the shop had 2 goes at fixing them they suggested getting in touch with 'Dent Devils'. The guy called at my house and fixed both of them very quickly. Noy only that but if either i or he (him?) was not happy with the result then no cost.

No cost any way as i sent the bill to the original body shop. ;D

A lot of these 'Smart' repair outfits around. Best to get local information and a quote as prices vary so much. Some you pay by how many dinks, others by the panel.

Hope this helps you. :y

Fortunately, I know a man to remove dings, as long as not creased.  Only costs me a beer or 2 as well :y

Even if it didn't pull the dent out, it couldn't do much harm :o

Dents are easy. Creases are a bit harder, but can still be done. Front end smashes on Omegas - my speciality!

I'll have an update and vid for you soon BoBo.  My neighbour had a kid run into the side of her car and left a nice uncreased dent behind.  Both ok btw. So I dragged her round and showed her the clip - and I'm off to work now to look for an air duster to have a go  :y

I've had dents removed by DentMaster national franchise - had to remove the headlight unit to get to it and noticed another near the petrol tank so had to remove rear light cluster.  All part of the job - £40 :)
