Im going to get those dent specialists to come on site to do my teeny dent! apparenty they heat the metal area up and use some sort of roller and sucker to prise the dent back out.

Lepsons are probably the best but are not cheap £70-80 per wheel but great quality.(There in Kent)
I think Teddy's got a new contact that does a good job & I'm sure he'll be able to help you also.
Got any pics of the dent to see how bad it is to advise - std dings in the doors can be removed pretty well by most of the mobile dent specialists !
Mitsu had some dents removed at the beginning of the month, and said the guy did an excellent job. His THREAD (http://forum.evotechnik.net/showthread.php?t=9950)

as everyone has said lepsons are the best ( www.lepsons.com ) my m8 had his done and they look like new, think wheels upto 18" are £60+vat and 19" are about £10 more :D :D
Kool man will give them a call do you know how long they take my wheels are only 17" and the dent is a small sized dent on the front passenger dor and a tiny weeny den on the rear quater panel

i saw a guy from dent wizard doing work for Halford slide down a metal tool down the window gap instead of taking the door trim apart. i personally wouldn't feel comfortable with that...
yellow pages = hit n miss
personal recommendation = less risk:)

I've used lepsons before, I'm sure they are something like £50, good job they did aswell.

apparenty they heat the metal area up and use some sort of roller and sucker to prise the dent back out.That sounds like bollocks. Firstly they'd have to apply just the right amount of heat so as not to damage the paintwork, if such a temperature exists were metal becomes plyable but paintwork undamaged in the first place. Then, they'd have to apply that heat through the paintwork, again not damaging in. Smell it? You just stepped in it. :)

HI
There is a place near wembley who do wheel refurbs, let me know if you need there number.
They charge £50 for a full refurb and less for just an outer lip etc.

kind of but not quite, they use a type of light which body shops use so they can see the dent clearer as the metal flexes, as they roll it out from behind they can see the shape of the dent comming out and the exact placement of the roller behind. the heat thingi assume is just the heat given off by the light itself.
