there are companies here that offer paintless dent removal, and on a bonnet should be real easy, i am sure you lot have the same in uk these days :roll: but for a DIY fix I had a similar one on my sport, someone (god knows who) left some tools on the manifold and shut the bonnnet. It wasn't so big so i took a soft (plastic hammer) covered the head with cotton wool (to stop paint scratches), had a mate hold a biggish piece of wood over the dent from the inside of the bonnet and i slowly and gentley tapped it out, then a polish and was not noticable. you must hold wood against the inner side or you will just make the dent and innie not an outie!!

depends on where they are, .... about two feet apart just behind the front seats means car was originally purchased round Essex way, both over the drivers seat just before the window means you got your heal n toe all wrong winkeye
