hey guys, just a quick question. After washing the car I noticed a very small dint in the front passenger quarter panel. By minor I mean the paint hasn't altered over it at all and is really only visible from certain angles. Needless to say now I know it's there it's bugging me.

The dint is up near the top maybe 2-3 inches from where the bonnet meets the quarter. Can I access up under the by removing the wheel and all the plastic that's in there and give it a push out? Or do is it easier to remove the whole panel? It's not a major issue but now that I know it's there it will annoy me no end.

cheers guys.

oh and have a feeling stereo installer did it, has the characteristic of something leaning on it.

Painless dent repair mate. Heaps of mobile guys do it these days. or find a shop local and take it there. A good pdr bloke will make it look new again

Depending on if the panel is dented or creased you may be able to heat it up and the spray freeze spray onto it. The rapid change in temp will pop it right back out.

Only works as long as the metal isn't creased.

its easy to access. just remove the splash tray. To remove the whole guard youd need to pull the headlight out and Front bumper off too.

Just get a good paintless dent guy out. Ive been in smash repairs for 15 years and I highly recommend you leave It to the pro's.

Its not as easy to do as it might look. The steel stretches as its pushed in. and will need to be worked back out the correct way.

hey mate, yeah it's barely visible unless you're looking for it at a certain angle. it's not an eyesore so I'll get a quote to get it fixed properly. there's some things I'll do myself but body repairs I might leave that one alone I think. thanks for the reply though I'll definitely go that route.
