  3. Not sure
    I gave it a quick push with my hand from inside and it didn’t shift.
    I’ll need to give it a look at when I’m in a better frame of mind.
     
  4. It’s ageing me

  5. I`m betting it`ll come out with a bit of `persuasion` ...
    I`d be pleased if that`d the only damage after a few months in a cattle field , chin up fella :thumbsup:

    Makes it look rugged, manly and used for it's purpose.

    Or makes it look like you can't park very well. I scraped my paint lightly on a stack of pallets on full lock a couple of years ago - right on the front corner as it swang past. I knew it was touch and go, could have reversed a bit, but I had to know if I'd judged it right.:rolleyes:
    LHD early I crumped the passenger door into a petrol pump swinging into position. Nobody said anything...dented the door (and the pump). :rolleyes::rolleyes:

  7. What do we reckon on something like this popping it out?

    I’m thinking it’s worth a try before getting forcefull.
    I’ve also seen there’s specialist glues and sticks for pulling dents nowadays that may be worth a try before bashing from the inside.

    Push don't bash, there are no creases which is good. Can you get to it ok or is it to awkward?

    Nail bar and sandbag?

  9. Try an inner tube before you spend any money. Push it into place and gently inflate it.

  10. Looks like it’s not going to be very easy to get to which was making me wonder about one of those inflatable bags.

    I’m going to try a sink plunger on the outside first and see how that goes.

  11. I like your thinking unfortunately I’d have to buy an inner tube
    Those inflatable bags are about seven quid on eBay so not a big outlay.

    It would be cool to pop it out with a sink plunger, you should video and take a bow if it works. :thumbsup:

  17. Using the sink plunger first then a bit of pressure from behind with a crowbar wraped in a towel ive manage to get the dent out.
    Just the cracked paint to deal with now.
