I have two on our VIS bonnet. It's a shame as they are the only noticeable blemish (losts of other age related dings but small).

Anyone recommend a dent man in the south east? Paint is intact but one one it will probably peel.

Are there any other options?
John

Automotive are pretty good for paintless dent repair. They may be able to use a glue plug and slide hammer to pull them out.

Where are they based? I did wonder if the glue and puller may work, the bonnet lip is quite tough though.

They have a number of offices, one is near Bromley/Orpington. They come out to you though.

Can you get to them as I thought the bonnet was double skinned?

Doesn't matter - pull them out with glue plug and slide hammer.

Hmmm fair play, however I'm not sure it's going to be that effective on Coupe's bonnet front edge

There is another option of drilling a small hole to get a dent pusher in but would rather avoid if possible.

Yes I thought that too, but then you're looking at paint

Yeah - if the dent is right on the edge it may not pull out. I had one just on the top of the edge and a mate of mine who works for automotive pulled it out for me.

I had one left by some cloud9 after I parked my car in a street.
PMS in Brum sorted it perfectly
