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.
-
if thats where i think it is then its likely to be double skinned also... a new bonnet?? :huh:

new bonnet i would not. drill tiny hole or spot weld a puller pin on, dent puller, scim fill, paint.

How much is your excess? Chances are it would be cheaper not going through the insurance company.
Protected no claims is a false economy if you ask me. If you claim and stay with the same company for the following years policy, there is a good chance it will rise considerably as "most" policies do, hence why its cheaper to shop about every year.
But if you do claim you then have to declare it to a new company!!! Catch 22.
I took my daughters car for some correction work (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=159081) to a couple of guys in Cambuslang and they highly recommended a spray painter 2 doors down from where their unit was. Considering these guys are perfectionists I thought the spray painters work must have been 1st class to be recommended by them.
Maybe worthwhile dropping in to see what he can do.

Where is that buddy in cambuslang?. The insurance is £350 excess with AVIVA, the Mrs works for them so I get all the discounts going :smiley:

There's more than one dent on there and what looks like lots of chips, that didn't all happen at once did it? :shocked:
