Oh arse

Had an argument with a post in a car park. :mad:

Been quoted £290+VAT to sort it, but I'm wondering about popping off the boot trim, sitting in the boot and pushing it out with my size 11s!

Agreed.

It looks totally ****ed so what have you got to lose? I don't expect you will sort the crease out unfortunately, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Good luck!

Warm it first (gently) with a heat gun/hair-drier to try to reduce the risk of paint cracks.

Looks to me like the paint has cracked at the top already.

As stated nothing to loose by giving it a go.

The paint has cracked slightly at the top of the dent, yep.

I do actually have some proper metalworking hammers and dollies, and did some evening classes in car body repair a few years back, but have never done it in anger...which in this case I will be!

Thanks for the replies guys. A couple of the paintless dent removal places said it would need to go to a bodyshop and they wouldn't touch it.

Got a fair bit of it out, will still need to get it sorted properly but it's not as bad now.

Yes, but i've not seen him about for a while. He painted some bits for me a few years ago but not sure if he does bodywork repair/prep as well or just painting.

I think he sold his classic so not sure he's around the forum these days....

I got it sorted out by Scuff Busters in Tunbridge Wells in the end, £288 inc vat.

They took the badges off and I'll probably keep them off. Only trouble is now the scruffy bumper looks even worse! I gather that saloon ones won't fit and wagons hardly ever turn up on breakers sites, let alone in 48w :(
