<deep breath and said through gritted teeth>

Someone has left my Mini with a large dent on the passenger wing of my car, right by the door, enough of a dent for the crease behind to rub against the door when opened. Very kind of them I thought. :mad:

So, anyone care to recommend a good body shop please?

I'll check back later, I'm off to find something to smash up...

hmmm, sounds like it might need a new door skin if the metal is stretched too much, otherwise they twist the metal to reshape it which i wouldnt be too keen on. Is the paint breached?

sounds like the door might need a new skin, which i'd prefer rather than have the body shop twist the metal back into shape. has the paint been breached at all? If not its a good sign.

sorry to hear about that :( someone shot my fiesta with a paintball gun over the weekend.

The dent is right above the indicator and right at the panel end by the door. I've had another look at it and it's not too badly creased behind, but enough that it already worn a small groove on the edge of the door as it opens. The paints not cracked. I can't actually figure out whats done it, it's quite a smooth curved dent. Going to go to a few bodyshops to get some costs.

Still angry... :(
