Shallow dent on bonnet. Paintless dent repairs?

Hi guys,

Just noticed a shallow dent on my bonnet, tried taking photos but wouldn't be able to see it from a picture. Only noticeable from a certain angle but it really bugs me...

As my car is wrapped... anyone know any good paintless dent repair places in south London? I live near Croydon.

Thanks guys

Can you get access to the dent under the bonnet?

If not they'd have to stick a pad to the bonnet to use a slide hammer from the outside.

I think that would ruin your wrap.

I had a look and where the dent is it seems to be blocked by some other metel and plastic cover.

Bill only does dents, but does work with a mobile paint sprayer if it is a dent with flaked paint etc… it is amazing the amount of work he does for main dealers who then charge the customers like it was done in their 'body shop' and charge a whole heap more money!!!

Spoke to Bill today and booked in for Friday morning. He's travelling from Romford to my house which is in Croydon, about an hours drive. quoted me £100. A bit expensive for a small job but taking into account the travelling he's got to do. Will update once the job is done

Nice guy, he arrived early morning on good friday and did the job. Took him literally 5mins and the dent popped out.

I did feel like i was robbed coz it was £100 and 5mins but again he did drive all the way from Romford to my house and that takes about an hour, so i cant complain. Will defo use him again but i'd probably drive to him next time to save some money
