Oh I didn't take it funny hun, I was hope my man choice is improving LOL

I find my past amusing and I caused a few of the larger dents myself ...... even wrote a car off with a fallen giant piece of ice, dent bloke let me down on that one ;(

Heavy duty suction cups are effective, used to be used on the work vans at placed i used to work.

Machine mart do a dent puller for £8

Re: dent in car repair- any experience

We parked outside a pub in Colne and when we got back to the car some kind person had kicked the passenger door, leaving a nice dent. I eventually got round to having it sorted and our local dent remover came and he thought it would not come out. My wife persuaded him;) and he had a go. Did a great job, could hardly tell. Only if you looked really close. Was pretty cheap too.

Re: dent in car repair- any experience

man quoted £120.. aint got that near crimbo.. not to spend on the car anyway ..

so looked on the net looked on you tube ... made a basher/stroker/persuader from a crow bar, bubble wrap and gaffa .. took the inside door card off the door and the seats out so I could work and did it myself..

its not brill and i reckon weatehr being so cold dont help .. will have another little go sometime with hair drier on..

still a bit orange peel in places and lil bumps but hey its not a 60 plate TT or summat thats 28K eh .. so not a bad job.. just for spending some time looking and planning .. and time is something I have a lot of at the moment........

I got a few pics.. will pop them on after..

kilted.. first 2 big dents just popped out easy and back to normal.. just one is a crease and one is on the horizontal well across the horizontal styling line ( crease thats supposed to be there- it prob has a name)

I bought my current BMW a grand under trade price because the bonnet had been jumped on. I had the dents out within half an hour of getting home with it. All it took was a semi-inflated football on the rocker cover and gently close the bonnet, and the dents popped out. Now all I have to do is get the two big dents I've put in it sorted :-(
