Came back from work today and on my way home (whilst walking) I had a feeling that my car would have picked up a dent. It had!
The Dentman is coming on Saturday to have a look and try and fix it. He thinks he can. There is a rubber bung 5" in front and underneath which could help with tool insertion. Otherwise, he has another method, he says.
The paint has also been damaged. Must have been the Dustmen or Re-cycle monkeys who caused this. The metal is pretty strong in this area, so it must have been quite a thwack.
Pretty annoyed.
Here are 2 pictures.

Not good Asker  :angry:

Hate the fact that others don't look after other people's property.

Let's hope Mr Dentman can work his magic

Adrian, I think it could have happened when the Dustmen/Recycle men opened the door of their vehicles.
Could it have been a football? Some kids were playing around yesterday.
So upset. :cry:

My feelings too.
Applied some gentle scratch remover, then some Toughseal sealents, then touched up the paint reasonably well. I'll buff it tomorrow once it has dried and apply more Toughseal. Hope The Dentman can remove the dent. If he cannot, then it's a bodyshop job which will be expensive due to paint matching problems.  :sick: :angry: :sad: :cry: :cry:

Really sorry to hear that. Good luck with The Dentman, I'm surprised that you're using that clown.

That sucks - I hate careless people.

The bung is for fitting roofbars incidentally.
Hopefully the dentman can fix it easily and cheaply.

Seriously hope it's fixable.

The house next but one to me has scaffolding as they are doing a loft conversion.
I parked my car some distance away but in line of sight to this building, unfortunately. Due to the high winds we had, I think something must have flown off the roof and hit the car. It had to be mine!!!

Steve: You know me well. I'll get it fixed somehow!! :smiley: Sleepless nights? How's it going, daddy?  :smiley:

Alex: The Dentman got in touch with me excatly one minute (!) after I contacted him and sent my pictures via MMS.  :wink: Bloody scaffolders. :angry:

Amanda: Cheeky girl! As bad as kerbing Monza Shadows IMO. :evil: :kiss:

Pete: I hope it can be fixed. Otherwise, it's an expensive bodyshop job. :sick:
