Bodyshop Needed
« on: 29 May 2014, 22:09:24 »

I managed to reverse into our wheelie bin this afternoon and made a right mess of my estate bootlid  :-[. Can anybody recommend a good bodyshop in or around the Derby area?

If it's simply a dent, remove the trim from inside and carefully push it out with the flat of your hand :y Using a hammer will most likely make it worse...

If it's creased/paint cracked then you'll need a body shop/new tailgate :-\
