Default S2000 Dents

Hey guys,

I am going to get some dents removed from my car tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone has ever used PDR on their S2000 and what where your thoughts with the results?
I was told by a few people that for dents in the rear quarter they might need to drill a small hole in the wheel arch to access it. I would probably rather prefer to get body work done before doing that.

Is it just me or do S2000's dent really easily? pretty much every single one I have seen has waves/ripples in the rear 1/4 panels. Must be from people leaning on there cars.

Thanks for that. Did you still notice ripples in the panel after the dent repair, that is my biggest concern, I mean they can pull it out ok but I have heard from certain angles you can see ripples in the paint.

to be honest, i think it would depend on how bad the damage is in the first place.
mine was pretty bad but there are no paint ripples nor noticeable paint damage .. guess it would depend how good your repairer will be.
