Hi guys,

A few months ago some door-knob reversed into the S whilst it was parked in a carpark. They hit the driver's door and caused a fist sized dent in the panel. The 'skin' has not been broken.

Looking to sell the S now and got the local repair shop to quote. Details came in the post today .....

 

How many quotes did you get ?

I only ask as mine is in the body shop next week to get the sill repaired and resprayed. I got several quotes and they varied from around

 

Have you tried the hairdrier and freeze spray trick?

 

if its a bit of panel beating and a respray it should be in the region of

 

That actually works mint on the right kind of dent.


Worth a shot for sure


You can do it with Nos, works the same, freeze the dent then warm it up fast (best with paint stripper gun at a 8 to 10" distance) loud bang and hey presto!!

Can not even tell on my mates BMW Z4 door.

 

No. Tell me more!

 

There's a vid of this on youtube somewhere.

What sort of dents would it work on? I've a tiny wee dent on my door panel but I didn't think it would work on it so haven't tried it.

Not heard of that one!

Does it work on door dings, or just large dents?

What happens to the poor paint?

 

Take the door skin off and push it out yourself.

If not I have found this guy pretty good;

If the paint hasnt split it comes out perfect, id say works best on dents over 30mm diametre althought has been known to work on car park dings.
