I saw about this on fb, such a shame :( How bad is the dent? Do you think it could be pulled out or is it creased/stretched?

I'm not sure if i can get it out yet, i havent really had chance to do anything yet, it looks like it might have a crease though :(

I have also just noticed that the baxtered who did the bonnet has kicked the front, the top front corner of the wing where it meets the indicator, so its chipped that too, and it was the indicator i bought brand new!! Fuckers!!

They blend in with the paint, so they aren't noticeable. Quite a quirky mod if you ask me.
