Really annoying dent
Managed to somehow pick up a small dent in the rear. It's not that big but it's the first one. I think I got it in the co-op carpark today in Portishead. Evil or Very Mad
Looks like a car door as it's a small dent with a crease. Thankfully the paint hasn't come off yet. Im wondering should I leave it as is or try to repair it or get professional help?

Can't be certain from a photo of course but as you have good access to the back of the dent I would think a good bodyshop man should be able tap that out to be near invisible without needing to fill or paint, probably worth a try?
Good luck.

My other half had a dent in the rear wing of her three week old Audi, I contacted a local dent remover and they stated if they could get access to the rear of it they could sort it. £50 later it was gone.
Really depends how much the dent will 'play on your mind' and the regard you have for your vehicle.

Thumbs Up If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

I can easily feel the dent from behind so will probably see what a body shop says.

Very Happy
