Finished work.... returned to a dent

[SIIM]

Finished work this afternoon and returned to the following dent:



I know its only small, but its one of those annoying ones does my nut in when i see it ! its quite noticeable too. I might have a go at pushing it back out when i take the bumper off to fit reversing sensors. Going to have to be careful now though because the paint has cracked too.

Some people just shouldnt be on the road. Whoever did it knew about it because you could see where they had rubbed the dirty off to see if there was any damage.

Sickening when that happens. If you are going to have a go at pushing it out yourself it will help if you carefully warm the area with a hot air gun.

Makes me sick. If I did that to somebody's car, I'd have the b*lls to at least put a note under their wiper with my contact details.

It happened to me a few years ago at work. Some t*t reversed a snatch landrover (the armoured ones you see in Iraq) into the drivers side wing of my Mondeo . Smashed the bumper and put a hefty dent in the wing. The guy would have got no more than a stern talking to from his CSM and the Army's insurance would have paid for my repairs. Needless to say the spineless b*stard was off on his toes without so much as an apology and I'm left with a £500+ bill.

Terrible. I've only caught another car once and I left a note, but the owner never contacted me, but I've been the victim of a few. Hope it doesn't cost much to fix.
