Just been to the supermarket its a lovely day so i thought id take the zed parked it miles away from any other car on the car park, (it took me longer to walk from my car to the shop than it did to drive there) went in got what i needed went for a quick blast. I called to see my mum parked outside her house, whilst in there i was gazing out the window looking at my gleaming zed to see a 1" dent in the passenger door, i was fuming thing is there was nothing parked by me when i got to my car at the carpark and it wasnt there before. Im 100% certain of this this is the first time ive legt it on a carpark for months. Problem is how do i get this dent out now cus im proper F******g angry!!
Dent in my door

Find a dent specialist - they're very good and can work magic assuming the paintwork wasn't broken. 4 days into my ownership someone drove into the side and put a whacking great dent through the crease of the Z that goes through the indicator. Couple of guys wouldn't even try and get it out but I found a guy who would and he did a great job considering. Result when you consider the £800 quote for a new panel.
I just had three very small dents removed today by a dent specialist for $50.00. Apparently, he theorized, someone leaned with their hand above the front wheel well. I was at a car show last summer so it probably happened there. He's says BWM and Mercedes are notoriously "thin-skinned" and even closing the trunk may leave an impression of your hand....
He's independent but does dealer work on new and customer cars. He's say's the dealers charge triple of what he charges!!! He's done successful work on other family cars of mine. I highly recommend a dent specialist near you.

Tedster,
Don't worry, what you need is a PDR specialist (paintless dent repair). Dent Devils are one of if not the best in the world and who I use for both my own and my customers cars. As long as they can gain access behind the dent they can invisibly remove it. You can contact them at http://www.dentdevils.co.uk/ . Give them a call as they're franchise based all over the country.
Best regards

If the paint isn't damaged take it from me, don't go with a respray. It's far better to use a PDR specialist. The dent will be completely gone and you keep your original paint. All for a fraction of the cost. A good PDR guy will charge around £70 plus vat (possibly less for cash :wink: )

Depends. If the paint was already starting to flake, then yes. If it's just a small chip/scratch, then no.
True, I just had one done for £45, ten mins, no hassle, you'd never tell.Undecided said:
There are 2 things to bear in mind with PDR work, access - being able to locate the rods behind the damaged area and reflection - to enable the panel to be manipulated back to its original shape. If there's any paintwork damage it could result in a loss or distortion to the reflection and affect the final result.
