Dink removal?

Hi all,

I have got a little dink on my passenger side front wing. I would love to knock it out but I cant get to it through any of the small holes. Would drilling a smallish hole from inside the engine bay just big enough for a tool to get to it be a bad idea? I have tired a dent pulling device but it didn't seem to work, I will have another go now its warmed up a bit but its a real eye sore! :(

Any help,

cheers

It is not a good idea to go drilling holes where there aren't any.

LOL!

Why not just use a dent repairer? Or you could do it that way, I assume to use a slide hammer? But then you will have to fill and paint.

I can't help but say this...

If it's that little why don't you just live with it? At least for the moment. If it's a big one then fair do, but if it's small, you are probably going to get more marks and more little dinks throughout your Arosa ownership. Why not wait until there's a few more and a couple of scratches too then take it to a pro and get them to do the full wing? There is a body work specialist near me who will refurb a wing with dents plus scratches for not very much at all.

I would never drill a hole where there isn't one already. Just a recipe for disaster.

Naaaah you can't live with a dink! I've got like four stone chips on my bonnet that you only notice close up and even that does my tits in enough for me to get them sorted haha

I have a nasty one just above the grill (inches away from the headlight, so i was lucky) that is pissing me off, but I just remind myself that it's my daily and as soon as I get it fixed, it'll reappear, so i'll do them all some time this summer!

You could have just says yeah but the dent is annoying me.

PDR is the way to go from the sound of it.

Yeah, I did it off my phone waiting to go into the dentist... on hindsight it did come across a little too aggressive! Sorry aha

You for one, the lads response was hardly one that conveys high levels of anger, but then him also for apologising for his sudden burst of aggression.

You clearly weren't about much in the days of kristoffer, he'd send you off with your tail between your legs, ask piers.

Your probably right. The other forum I'm on is prominently older men and they love a bit of polite but TBH I think its nicer he probably wouldnt say that if he was at a local meet and secondly he wouldn't have gotten any more helpful responses after that.

Plus I used a lol smiley that's the height of sarcasm.

Basically this was a regular occurrence.

Kristoffer-I think this, so this is my opinion.

Piers-I disagree with your opinion.

Kristoffer-(PM)I'm going to kill your family and then kill you.
