Dent on E92 hood from tow hook

E92_James · 11-25-2020, 09:06 PM

When I was swapping my motor back in August, I made the dumbest mistake of closing my hood while forgetting to take out the tow hook from the top of the motor. Next thing you know I have a tiny version of the M3 hood lol. I'll post pictures of it soon but are these hoods easy to repair if I sent it to a paint less dent removal shop? Any recommendations for paint less dent removal in the Westchester area?

That's going to need more than paintless dent removal. The metal stretched and creased. If you're lucky it can be taken down with a hammer and dolly but will need to be repainted. It may be cheaper to find another hood that's the right color
