Default Had the dentman over

There is a new dentman in our area so I got him over to repair some damage to my ST, my wife's golf & the Cossie.

Before



After



Before (note the mark already in the paint)



After



Before (this was a big one!)





After



I didn't get photos of the dent he repaired on the Focus or the rear door of the Cosworth because he was too fast repairing them

If anyone needs any dents doing in the Bucks & Berks areas I'd recommend him www.dr-dent.co.uk

Just need to clean the cars now

He did me a deal to be honest. The passenger door on my ST had been dropped by a careless passenger onto the Golf so it had bent the rear edge of the door back To do all 3 cars he only charged me Ł100 Chuffed to have finally got the ones on the Cosworth sorted because they had been bugging me for years.

The damage to the ST & Golf should have cost about Ł100+vat I reckon.

Good how they do it like, a few of us got ours done last year 3 cars in all, and charged us Ł30 each, which is good IMO. Get rid of the dings and the car looks so much better.

my mate had his rs done, Ł100 for the who car, you didn't realise how many dints there were and he found some that were nearly impossible to spot.

Only one that he couldn't do, but did a cracking job and the car just looked sharper afterwards which we didn't expect.

That's fair enough, sadly I took the after photo after he had gone but the lines are simply where he had wiped the dirt away with a cloth The car hasn't been washed for months so there is so much crap on it that it's a wonder I noticed the dent lmao

No point machine polishing it, it's my wife's car and she doesn't care about cars let alone polish them She dented mine in the summer and apparently "it's just a car" No wonder she doesn't own anything nice and everything nice "we" own is mine
