Title: Car park dent!!
Post by: Gladiator on November 01, 2011, 07:34:00 pm
Walking back to my car this afternoon and noticed I've picked up a very annoying dent on my o/s front wing!!  :sad1:

I'm always so careful where and who I park beside but seems you can never totally protect your pride and joy against those car owners that just have no respect for those that really look after theirs! :fighting:

Can anyone recommend a good dent removal company around the Hemel Hempstead area?

£2k!! That is a joke  :surprised:

I had a couple of dents removed a few years ago on my 1 series and paid £50 per panel which I think is the going rate...at least I hope it is!?!

£2000 is ridiculous - I got a new doorskin, bumpstrip with a perfect respray for £500. The only way to tell the difference is with a paint depth gauge and even then there's not much difference.

As above, dent removers seem to charge £50 per panel (and some will not charge extra for more than one dent).

Try these guys.

I used them to remove a dent from the top part of the front wing and I must say I'd highly recommend them.

 I also highly recommend Shaun, he removed a creased dent from one of my front wheel arches last year.  I was very doubtful that the wheel arch could be straightened satisfactory, but he totally fixed it without a trace being left.

Hey Gladiator let me know where you parked in Hemel, I'm from there and I'll avoid it like the plague!  :signLOL:

The only other Ed30 I've seen was in Hemel, Silver too so may have been yours.
