Ive just bought a second hand 306.
- Its relativly tidy, origonal, and low mileage. Cost me £1800.

However theres a bit of a dent in the front lhs wing. As you can see below.


In a way i dont notice it, atleast its not drivers side, and the paints still perfectly intact. Apprently it appear while i was park outside the prevous owner house, proberbly someone kicking it i recon.

Anyway, i dont want or need it to be 'perfect' fill/respray etc. However i was wondering if it would be possable to get someone to improve it be beating it back to shape. Just make it less noticable really?
-Howmuch might that cost, and what would be the best way of going about it.

find a local dent-removal specialist... (but be careful, there are lots of cowboys out there).

They use their skill and special tools to get in behind the outer panel, and tease it back into shape.

Budget for 50 GBP per panel, so they should be able to do that front wing for erm 50 quid biggrin

If you were down near the south coast I would recommend 'Dentz'; they were excellent, and are used by the local MDs for BMW/MB/Porsche.

Yeah that looks good.
- £50 a pannel isnt too bad eather i guess, looking at there before and afters the job seams good.

Ive had a look round for "paintless dent removal" services in my area and found a few that seam good, so thanks for that. Seams to be quite a bussiness in it!

Dont know if anyone can recomend anywhere the cheshire/staffordshire area?
