I came out to my Lude around a week ago to find out someone had decided to put a big dent in my bonnet

really riles me up! Now that i've calmed down a little and weighed up my options between sourcing a new bonnet (Could take a while to source the same colour) and getting the damage repaired.

Someone rightfully pointed out about Paintless Dent Repair and I have got a quote from one company called 'thedentmen'

Website: http://www.thedentmen.com

I have been backwards and forwards over email today and they seem really nice! I've sent pictures and tried to explain as much as I can, they recon its an hours work and will be a fixed price of £100 (Good or Bad?) Haven't got a lot of experience with these Mobile repair services!

Anyway heres a pic of the damage, feel free to comment with what you think I should do!

£100 is pretty good it would cost more than that searching for a bonnet in the same colour or getting one sprayed up plus you dont have the worry of buying one and having it delivered

Thanks for the reply dude! I took my old car to a body shop thinking i'll just get a few bits touched up and my god the prices!

Definately a lot cheaper! My Best friend recons they won't get the dent out, kind of want to prove him wrong at the same time!

Haha

Im a mobile bodywork tech and i have my own Chipsaway franchise in Notts.
Im my area i use a PDR guy who works for Dent Devils, i dont do PDR myself.

What they can do is pretty amazballs.

£100 inc Vat? Decent Price IMO considering it will keep the original paintwork and you wont have any filler etc...

That dent is perfectly removable via PDR.
Remember...with bodywork, it all depends on the skill of the technician. Some are crap and some are good.

Looking on there website, some of the dents they have taken out are in much more awkward places, I'm confident I can prove my friend wrong

Couldn't stand the thought of fitting my freshly refurbed and powdercoated calipers this weekend whilst having a big ding in the bonnet D:

Also thanks Ratty for commenting on my original post, honestly didnt have the foggiest what PDR costs. Will ofcourse update with the outcome

Should be getting sorted this Saturday
