Title: Kink in drivers wing
Post by: Adam0604 on June 28, 2016, 07:04:38 pm: I've got a small kink in my drivers side wing, caught it on lock a bit when I went over a particularly bumpy patch in the road.
Any DIY options to try and get the kink out myself?

Just wondered if anyone knows a method to try and get a small kink out themselves without damaging paint.

Where in the country are you? I can recommend someone in the surrey area I've used a couple of times - made the dents disappear with no paint damage.

Same here if you're in Kent.

I removed a few from my wheel arch by removing plastic arch cover and gently tapping with a rubber mallet and timber spreader.

Also removed a bend in the door using a G-clamp.

Put up a photo and we might be able to help further.
