you may find that on a really cold day it just pops out haha.
happened to me when someone sat on the wing and pushed it in a little. Came out one morning with a thick frost and very cold and it was gone - i assume it was the cold at least? Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Dent Removal specialist. When I got my RCZ I took her to such a place in Swindon, they actually found 3 in total and took them all out for £45 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

I don't think a dent specialist could do anything anyway because when you lift the bonnet up there is like a second skin of fabrication and the dent is directly above that. So you could get any tools to the underneath to push it out

As you rightly mentioned the bonnet is double skinned in a lot of places. Take it for a specialist opinion, if they can get to the back of it you may even get change out of £50 for the repair. Had the same conundrum with a three week old Audi, they stated if they can get to the rear of it they could fix it!
Being an 'Earth Dweller' could you not nip off to some other distant solar system with advanced technology and get it sorted there perhaps?  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Would need to be a job where a puller was used, issue there is would need re-painting.

Depending on the type of dent, a pro might be able to draw it out using suction.

That's the sort of thing I was thinking. ^^^^ The bonnet being steel though and pretty thick at that might be easier said than done.
I suppose if it's larger it might work out better than a small dent. |

I think that's what happened with my RCZ as it was right on a crease where I think there was some reinforcement behind it. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

Instead of speculating what might or might not be possible get one of the specialist to have a look, they have ways and means of dealing with these things and cope with double skins and difficult access all the time. Steve.
