.....I think it was, bounced off the bonnet of my 156 on the way home from
work the other day. Just above and to the left of the grille in one of the
creases - bugger! Left a dent a bit bigger than a 50p
£440 quoted by my local Fiat (ex Alfa dealership, but they still do all
servicing, bodywork etc), bugger that, how much does a new bonnet cost? So,
took it my local Indy this morning, quoted me a ton.
How I wish I was any good at bodywork

Sadly, no. Even if it were OK, I believe these dent removal firms have to
be able to get at the rear of the panel to push/smooth the dent out, seems
to be a double skin on the bonnet so can't get at it

I got my bonnet replaced - and the roof ! - after some bleedin' sods walked
over the car. Cost £1400 but got it done on my comprehensive insurance.

Some places use a heat-shrink technique to remove such dents after major
hailstorms. They anneal the metal using just the right amount of heat
applied with a torch in the center of the dent, then use a wet rag to
shrink the metal back to shape. You still have to redo the paint, but
I know of valuable cars that were written off in a hailstorm being
repaired quite cheaply using this technique - see if you can find somone
who knows it. >> Stay informed about: Aaaargh...bloody circket ball..... |
