Dent in bonnet, is it single or double skin
As above, I have a dent in my bonnet and have contacted some no paint dent repair people.
They say it looks like it could be done that way but have asked whether the bonnet is single or double skinned, I do not have the foggiest, can anyone help in that respect.
Anyone had any experience with this kind of thing, any help would be appreciated.

I think its double skinned at that point due to the structural support but with sufficient clearance through the cut outs in the internal skin so they can tease out the dent
Alternative - guy that did a rear quarter panel on mine used a glue system - didn't even go inside the car and it was perfect - worth an ask

It may even be possible to use a vacuum puller. I'd be tempted to try the hairdryer and freeze spray method as a DIY attempt.

I would guess that won't pop out nicely due to it having breached the crease in the top edge of the bonnet?
I had this a few years ago:

and it had to be done in the traditional; fill, respray etc way but fair play to them if they do get it out without going that route and theeeeennn......???
