Might be worth the hairdryer and can of freeze trick first. A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Quote:I've just been quoted £300 by Chips Away for having all 4 side panels filled and resprayed after some scum bag keyed my car.
Sounds like a good deal it cost my insurance company £4100 to get 4 panels done via my local stealer and subsequently my NCB and a shed load of litigation

Find out which shop your dealer uses and go to them direct. There's a great guy in Hull who used to be a JLR authorised repairer. Does a fantastic job. 2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +

Have a hunt around, google anywhere for a firm that carries and old fashioned panel beater, who can "Spoon", if there is access behind the door card.
Most modern bodyshpos don't carry proper panel beaters anymore, they're more into replacing panels rather than beating them back to shape.
Now i can't remember, but i think the doors are aluminium on the D3's, so the ability to tack on the wire pins to use the sliding hammer might not be an option or to use the wavy section for drawing larger dents out. ATB

Another trick is to insert a balloon (I saw it done years ago with a football bladder) down below the glass, and then blow it up on an air line. I expect they have proper balloons for this now. A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill.
