Dent removal

[rossi46]

Anyone seen this months Bmwcar magazine and PBMW magazine?
well, i am going to meet paul Langridge from www.panel-perfect.co.uk at bluewater this saturday to get my dents repaired.( plus i can do some xmas shopping while he's doing the repair) :D
i remembered i made a quote from the dealer and it was £700. :eek: :eek:
paul quoted me £60. ;)
His work looks pretty decent from the mag and website.
will let you guys know if he's done a good job or not after this saturday.

just got back today with a big :D on my face.
his work was excellent. there was only one dent which he only can recover 80% becos it was akward at the front wheel arch.
He repaired 8 dents for me in total and only charged me £100.
i got to say if i took it to the dealer it would have cost me ££££'s.
here are some pictures i took during he's repair.

Afif, take a close look at this pic

If you look at the REFLECTION of the yellow card in the bodywork you can see it's all gloopy. That's because the reflection of the lines is following the dent.

Now look here, same spot, same angle

The reflection of the lines is perfectly straight, as the reflection is now following a perfectly smooth body-line.

Have to say, that is a feckin' excellent job for £60.

yes, the big dents had annoyed me over a year since i bought the car.
was thinking of whether to make a claim on my insurance or not ( since i had fully comp NCB protected and hadn't made a single claim).£120 excess.
Luckily i have found paul.
it looks very simple the way he does it, just using different sizes of metal rods to massage the bodywork back out.
it's amazing when you look at the way he does it.
