Stone dent repair and alloys......

[esuuv]

My car is due to go back to the finance company - and there a nasty stone chip / dent on the bonnet that I know they are going to charge me for if I just send it back so need to get sorted.

Any recommendations for who can do it - richmond / twickenham / brentford area ideally, if they could sort some kerbing out on one of the alloys too that would be great.

Its a dark silver Mini if that makes a difference......

If there's access to the back of the dent, a PDR guy should be able to sort the profile out for you. If the stone chip is below 25mm or not through to basecoat (or is neatly touched in) this is acceptable within BVRLA fair wear and tear.

Unfortunately, if the dent cannot be pushed out with PDR, the fair wear and tear guidelines technically allow for you to be charged for filling the dent and a full bonnet respray...

I have posted a link to your query on the smart repairers forum, hopefully someone local to you will be able to assist...
