Scratch/Dent removal (UK)

Post by sp3ctre » Fri Jul 20, 2007 2:15 pm

A friends of mine has a Mini and has recently had it scratched. It is actually dented as well as scratched and she would like to get it repaired as cheap as possible.

Do any of you know where would do it, and if so what sort of cost she would be looking at? So far she's had a quote for £200 + VAT. She lives in the Harrogate region.

Here are some photos of the dent/scratch:

To be honest ... 200 gbp sounds pretty good to me!

yeah... when she told me about it I thought it was a but much... thought it was just a scratch, but actually it's a pretty deep dent. Will let her know.

In the meantime if anyone has any other ideas please feel free to suggest.

Cheers,

£200 + VAT sounds very good to me.

Here's a novel way to get a dent out without having to pay a panel beater.
