Someone sat on my db9 bonnet. Dished. Where to repair?
Discussion
On iPhone at airport so a short post. Xmas eve old neighbour came round. Lovely car and sat on it. Aghast. Bonnet now slightly dished enough to distort reflections. I am in west London. Any recommendations as to where to get repaired. A google search in non specific but seems to suggest can be done with heat? Thanks. Jeremy

I'm sorry but why would any adult sit on the bonnet of your car unless it was for a glamour shoot? Bit of jelousy and knew exactly what he was doing? If he hadn't dented it he more than likely would have scratched it!
Ignorance, more like. Which could be partly down to the "it's just a car" mentality. You cannot defeat that mentality. I've tried and given up.Definitely talk to a dent guy.
I once closed the rear boot lid of my Boxster onto a case of wine and left a bottle top shaped convex bulge in in it. It's aluminium too and I never thought there was any hope of getting it out.
A rallying mate Seb Ling (Pro-Dent) came and after about an hour of the most delicate tapping it was completely gone. Not a scratch or a blemish. Brilliant!!
As long as the paints not cracked these guys work magic

You don't seriously think that he was motivated by malice?I highly recommend you go here in the first instance based Upon personal experience

I had a dent in my porche 928's door on the bracing strip, these have Aluminium doors and it was deep, he removed in an hour ! Absolutely amazing, also attended to a couple of other dents in my other cars that I was sure would need beating and spraying... He cringed and said he would give it a go, 30 minutes later looked like new.
I had my XK8 repaired at Tonbridge coach works after it was reversed into, they got a good match in colour but failed to prepare the panel correctly and had to have redone within a year as rust bubbles appeared
If a paintless repair fails then its has only cost you £50 - £100, if it succeeds you will have saved £1000 and not had to worry about paint matching which as we know may look okay in daylight but fails under street lights.

If you don't want to get involved with paint I reckon that guy is your man.

So you know the w
ker who sat on your car and damaged it, yet you're going to pay for it? 
I'd be causing an equal amount of damage in £ to his car if he refuses to pay.
Of course you would George........ Would you go all ninja turtle, or just kick it.....and how exactly would you gauge the exact same amount of damage.?? ker who sat on your car and damaged it, yet you're going to pay for it?

What would happen if you did say 50p more damage

Probably just a hammer to the wing mirrors and a drill through the side wall of the tyres What would happen if you did say 50p more damage
