Looks like when I once left the car keys on the door seal and then tried to shut the boot!

I'd pay for him to come down to London if I am unsuccessful with my man.

That's a Negative - sorry  :sad:

The Dentman, Martin Leach, came his morning and fixed the dent. Had to drill a small hole to get the tool in. Apart from the slight chip on the paintwork, the dent has been removed and all FOC!! So kind of him :smiley:

Good stuff, just a few layers of touch-up, polish - bob's yer uncle.

FOC??? Would it be rude to ask why? I come from an era when folks helped out each other for nout. These day's £50 to stand on your doorstep. :rolleyes:

I have recommended him to a few people with excellent results.
It was his way of saying thank you. He is a real gentleman and a really nice guy. :smiley:

Thanks. Painless to the my pocket so far but not to Wolfgang as he had to be drilled!
The Paintman is coming on Monday to finalise the finish.  :cool:
Has saved me the best part of £770 + VAT, which the bodyshop wished to charge!  :shocked:

Underneath on the flat surface where the rubber bung is for roof bar fixing. This fixing point was 5" in front of the dent. He drilled behind the dent about 2" away. Painted the hole and put a new waterproof bung in. I'll take a picture next time I am near the car and post it.  :smiley:
