Mitchet Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I have sympathy for you, especially since last weekend, some tw.t also put a dent in my front passenger door! It was done in a carpark in the Lake District (near Coniston). Funny enough, whilst we were walking back to our cars, some careless willyheads had their door open fully, resting against my mates car. He looked at his car after they closed the door and there was a dint and some scratching... and the cheeky buggers denied it was them, despite the fact we saw everything! I'd be curious to know how you get on trying to remove it. Is it a large dent or small one? Is it possible to post a picture? Hope it works out for you.

a4alan Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 No it`s small but on the flat panel bit so seen easily from side view, i also have one on the bonnet front that the wonderfull tyre fitters did at Gates tyres, cant prove it was them but it wasn`t there prior to them fitting my new fronts, that one will be a bitch as it`s behind the double skin..i`ll take photos monday if the lord decides to stop raining..cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
