Who is the best
« on: 15 May 2010, 11:38 »
Just spotted this uesterday morning, looks like the car has been shot at  :sick:. Well sort of. Just my luck I think it was a lorry going the other way on the M73 where there is road works  :cry:

So round the Glasgow area who can recoment the best body repair team ?

PM VWkev and ask him who he got to sort out his dint/scratch as he is from your neck of the woods.

I just hope that dint is not in a box section of the bonnet  :cry:

Gutted for you. If it's through the paint most of the dent guys wont be able to do much for you.

Touch-ups in Glasgow are pretty good, and they're into VW's too which is always a bonus  :smiley:

From what I can see from the picture, the paint has been damaged and the metal dented.
Because the bonnet is a large flat surface and if you want a perfect and uniform paint finish, a full bonnet respary it may have to be. Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear. :sad:

I gave VWKev the dent master's number for the local agent Jamie. I'm sure he used him. I'll pm you his number but like someone said, if it's through the paint he won't be able to fix that.

What is below the dent? Hopefully not some reinforcement of the bonnet.

Its through the paint 100%, so looks like a full bonet job, this will get rid of all the other crap as well. I'll go through the insurance if its too steep as I'm protected and not claimed in 8 years, just the excess to pay. Off on holiday tuesday so will start to look into after that.
