Good evening,

I am interested how much a dent will cost me. It is on the front left side wing and the car is a BMW 3 Series 2017 model, M sport. I have attached a picture of the dent which is about the size of a CD. https://ibb.co/kaVAVy (please see picture attached)

Thank you for your time given this matter, :beer:

    It's quite hard to see in that picture but it looks like no creased metal so probably easy job to pop back

    Thank you for your reply.

    The paint is not affected at all but it's not a one form dent, it looks like there are small dents caused by someone probably kicking it with their feet or fist. I try to explain that as best as I could.

    Ask around local paintless dent removal (PDR) companies for quotes. I used my local Dent Devils guy a couple of years ago for a door ding and he charged my around £90. If you take it to your local dealer they'll likely charge £300+ to repair it.

    The picture was taken yesterday by me and uploaded. I am not sure what you might imply

    That doesn't sound too bad, I will be happy to pay £300 or a bit more. Will this put a category on a car or something like this? Sorry if the question is dumb.

    Thank you,

    He has read the software details, the picture was taken 29/05 at 18:22, however, in future you might want to turn geolocation off on your 'phone if you don't want to broadcast where you are (good job it wasn't on your drive) ;)


    It shows as Elland Road Park & Ride, did you come back to it to find that dent?
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    That's scary :eek:! No, I want to buy this car and met the guy there. I am worried that it might be a full front wing replacement and this is the only issue with the car that worries me and it might be quite expensive. I am not sure if the changing of a front wing panel will put a category on the car too
