Just wanted to know who I should see about getting this repaired. It doesnt look too bad so was wondering if I could skip a panel shop and just get one of those mobile paintless dent repair vans out. The bumper has an impact mark so that might not be so easy, any thoughts?

Spent all day on the cruise doing some speeds and then hit skippy 30 secs from home crawling at 40kph getting ready to turn onto my driveway. A little annoyed!

PDR would be worth a shot for the panel damage, won't be able to do anything with the bumper though. Depends if you can live with that I guess?

The moral of the story is you should have stayed back and :blink: !

Paintless dent removal will be able to get that one out (on the guard) for sure. For a comparison, a kangaroo actually hopped into the side of my bros Late model camira and hit the front guard right on the wheel arch where the crease is. The dent was about the size of a football and was removed by a paintless dent romoval expert. You could never tell it ever happened.

its getting fixed tomorrow at Pro Dent Repairs at Albion in Brissy. The guy reckons no should be fine and has organized for a bumper repair fella to come do that at the same time. Should be about $300 which I can live with. The roo kinda jumped into the side of the car more than me hitting it. The crease looks like it was caused by his tail, you can see little dimple along the crease from the tail bones.
