I'd suggest spending under a tenner on one of these first;http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dent-Master-C ... 2a3c7a5e2e I used one on wife's Jag for parking dent someone gave her on front wing; smaller than yours, but itdisappeared completely. I'm sure YouTube will have some videos on how it works; simples

youtube seems to suggest to warm up with foil over and give it the hot hair dryer treatment and then to place some dry ice over it and it apparently pops out...not sure im willing to try the hair dryer treatment its more what i expect from my boss.lolwill defo look at the other option you have mentioned @gel .....could be living the dreamthanks again

Used Auto Restore twice once on a coy car & once on wife's; they are rather more than just smart repairs; latter seem to be somewhat restrictive on what areasthey'll consider in my experience.They like them near edge on panels, or on bumpers for example. I had small parking scratch & minor chips on my new QQ, so used my "ALA" Scratch & dent cover, and they use "www.revive-uk.com" but he was nervous at respraying due to position on door/ age of car; in the end we agreed on polishing out which looks 95% perfect with just a tiny mount of touch up used.As a bonus he also polished out a long bramble scratch I'd suffered on 2 n/side doors, down a country lane; those scratches are 95% gone; he used this http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing ... at_85.html 3M stuff.See pdf; he used 2 types, first standard & then fine.uploads/1026/3m_polishing_compound.pdf
