The wing dint.
Theres no strengthener behind the wing as such only a foam block its all single skin easy to get at and knock out.

I have got a very, very small depression just above the crese line along the middle of the nearside wing. Have had 2 dent removal men look at it and try and remove it. They cannot as there is a strengthner there and they cannot get to it either from the top or through the wheelarch. So there are places where this cannot be done!
'The Dentman' reduced the depression by 50% but the other guy would not even attempt to do anything. It took 'The Dentman' nearly 45 mins to acheive this.
What strengthener and creese line do you meen? have a look at
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=149545.110
and let me know which one.
Knocking a dint out of a creese thats not easy to get it 100% most won't attempt it as it will never be right.
I never ment any could be removed to 100% thats just stupid. As the bit next to the door thats U shaped would be hard without wing removal.

Snoops: It is on the front wing above the crease line which runs along it. Behind the weeny depression is a strengthner with some glue inside. It is difficult to get to due to the very difficult angle narrow opening.
Not worried about it at all.

If its the creese line across the car i cannot see why as the wings reasonably open there as can be seen in my photos. Im confused why unless its near the door and in the U shape.

It is the only place where there is a sort of strengthner!

Agree with all the previous posters; the red and Vancouvers really go together well.
