well the paint hasnt really come off, so im hoping they will fix it for cheap, dont they just take the inside of the doors out and hammer the metal back in place?

sometimes.. they have these glue stick things they stick on, and then pull the dent out to remove.. then they heat to detach..

i went to see a bodyshop about getting a scrape on my bumper done, and about some other lil dents.. this was no small outfir.. and they said they call the mobile dentwizard guy out as he's got the specialist stuff for those kinds of dents.. whereas they normally respray / replace panels.

theres many way to remove 'dents' ?with suckers and strong magnets (as overseer said though if paint not cracked/broken) id deffo take to somewhere like he mentioned 'dent wizard' or similar (i think they do home visits??) Dont try taking of your door trim and winder mechanism to try and knock it out, cause unless you know what your doing youll end up making it look alot worse!!!!

Gaz ;D

some dents can be pulled, some cant.. the tiny dinks in my doors got lightly skimmed and painted over.
your local "chipsaway" geezer will come out and give you a free quote... if they can pull and polish then they will !

cheap solution ? do what i did, wait until a bloody great lorry batters up your tailgate and bumper, and have the dents sorted at the same time  :P
