few months back my old mans car got attacked by the local vandalising fuckwits, obviously a few bus shelters wasn’t enough so damaging peoples cars provided them with a ‘buzz’
a fair few cars have been done in on my street – few houses down their petrol cap had been ripped off, a lad’s tyre sliced open and err bus stop smashed yet again. Became a victim after noticing a foot print and a bit of restyling to me rear panel… no not a jap style bodykit but some cunt who gets pleasure out of kicking cars.
I’m guessing around 200 – 300 for repair like, there is no damage to the paintwork but still needs a bit of work. If anyone could guestimate how much wallet damage I’ll occur then go for it. Also… cheap bodyshop’s in the north west area

take the inner trim off
heat the whole panel up
lots all over
till its hot to touch
no so hot it melts the paint
then wrap a towel round your hand and push it out
you may be lucky and itll pop out
but it has to be hot especially where the seams of the dent are
if it dont work its already stripped and the panel will be mostly pushed back into place thus bringing the bodyshop cost down

I had exactly the same thing happen on my last Corsa. Had it pulled out by a suction pad then a light skim of filler over and resprayed.
I knew who did it to my car though so had the pleasure of getting revenge

I wouldn't be too bothered if that was caused by a car park mishap but there was a nice muddy footprint left :/

I had my rear quarter done and cost 140. Had a small dent (smacked with s door) and needed the whole rear quarter respraying.
Sorry for your damage  The kids are little shits around here too. Had some try and have off with my alloys, Mum's C3 has had the wing keyed and Dad's Picasso has now had a shoping cart thrown at it. The two kids who where playing with the shopping cart parents seen what happend and have offered to pay for the damage which was nice of them

Use a heat gun, can be bought from Argos for example for a few quid.

I had an old astra 4 a run around & some cunt hit me in the carpark, not quite as big as your dent, but looks the same.
Luckily it was a hot day anyway and bodywork felt hot, so I got a normal plunger and pulled the wee dent back oot.
If it was'nt a hot day, do what Adam D say's and heat the panel up
Bastards 4 doin that anyway...

Ring up dent master or similar. They should sort that out for less than £100 as its all on one panel(assuming paint aint damaged). If you do it yourself you wont get rid of it completly.
