    The passenger door on my Cooper S suffered a dent and a crease when a dog ran into the road and head-butted the door. Fortunately the dog was ok, but the bottom of the door has been creased (cracking the paint) and dented. I have seen previous threads on dents (acci-dent) but because the paint is broken, it is probably going to need spraying. I have contacted my local mini dealers (Grassicks, Pheonix and JC) and all but JC use local body shops for repairs.
    Anyone have a recommendation for repairs in the Fife-ish area.
