Dented Doors

Hey, I was looking for some advice. I managed to have a wee bump yesterday.
Cut a short story shorter....I tryed to pass a lorry in a very narrow street with a skip on the other side. The lorry decided to move so i was forced into the skip which ripped my wing mirror off and left me with two ugly dents in the front and rear passenger side doors.

I went to a local breakers yard and got my hands on a new mirror for about a tenner.

Just need some advice on these dents now. Do you think this will be expensive to repair. I tryed to make it a bit more....unnoticeable with some t-cut.

Its a MK1 Punto btw. 5 door.


Front Passenger Side Door


Rear Passenger Side Door.

I live in Edinburgh btw. Can anybody reccomend anywhere good to get this fixed in or near Edinburgh?


Cheers for any help or advice given. Its much appreiciated.

That seems to have worked quite well, makes them almost invisible to the naked eye

Re: Dented Doors

TBH I wouldn't bother taking it anywhere to get it repaired, would probably cost you something like £400 and on a mk1 punto not really worth it, could ring round breakers to see if they have any doors in same colour.

Re: Dented Doors

There are mobile PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) boys out there that can repair dents and creases as long as the paint is not broken. Average price for retail is approx £60 per panel. Try a national company like Dent Devils. They will be able to advise.
