Come out this morning to find someone has kicked my Toyota Celica hard on the wing mirror and rear offside panel. It's properly gutting, just looks like random damage and only moved in here last week. Ive reported it but all I have is a crime number, not sure if it's worth going through insurance. I've managed to snap of the speaker grill off and push the panel back out but theres still a small dent. Looks like the paint is fine. Whats the best way to make it new again myself? I assume I can't just hammer it out without making it worse. What tool is used, can it be pushed back out?


Thats before I pushed most of it out, I'll clean it up tomorrow and have a proper look. Im waiting to see if the police have any interest in the quite clear footprint first.

Wow. That thing with a hair dryer and compressed air looks remarkably easy, would have never thought of that. I reckon that could work. I’ll give it a try and report back. Thank you
