Dent in wing - Advice please
I am gutted. Got back from hols yesterday so popped down to Tesco for some shopping. As I was parking a trolley has rolled into the side of my front wing. Although not a huge amount of damage it is still a dent. Tesco have said nothing they will do - good customer service!
So I am after some advice of where to go to get it done. It is about an inch long just above the S2000 badge, but it is on the crease, but the paint work is undamaged.
Any ideas of how much I am looking at?
I live on the Surrey/Hampshire/Berkshire border so if you know of any good repair places let me know. Will to travel if they do good work!!
Thanks
Anthony

Yep, it is amazing how thin the wings are.
If you are careful, you could probably take most of it out yourself.
I had a Honda dealer finish mine off as the paintwork was damaged and the AA were paying for it.
Get a quote off your local dealer, ours is a specialist in this type of repair.
There is another thread about this subject on the uk board, may have more info for you.
People who have no respect for other peoples property make me sick.

My S2000 goes into the body shop on Monday - a small dent in the rear wing caused by a Cement Truck
Anyway, when I took it in for an estimate, they were confident that if it hadn't gone through the paint they could have done a 'smart repair'.
Basically this dealer has their own guy trained like 'Dentmaster'. So with a bit of luck you've a similar dealer - then it should be quick and cheap to have the dealer fix it, without risk to the warranty.
Good luck!

But can't prove it
I'm paying...
The people having the building work are sorry up to, but not at the point of paying. They even claimed they'd asked for permission to use my dad's driveway which was complete tosh.
Without a witness I'm stuck with the bill.
