Hit a pheasant at 70 mph on the motorway and now have a dent on the front window strut. Anyone used ChipsAway for this type of repair. The paintwork is intact just a bird sized dent! Or any other suggestions.

If the paint isn’t damaged you need a dent removal specialist.

Would have thought short crust pastry for the pheasant would have been more useful🤣

Powermalc, you’re spec is the diametric opposite of mine and what I would choose, from colour to interior to wheels, the whole lot.
…and it looks fabulous!!!
Viva la difference!

Personally I would make a suggestion of a nice red wine or even a pear sauce for the Pheasant!! ;) ;) ;) ;)

You should phone a couple of dent removal specialists.

Good luck...

I think if you use an independent dent specialist rather than OPC, you will be “pheasantly surprised!”

…no? Too early?… I’ll get my coat… 😂😂👍

Providing there is no significant paint damage and the metal has not stretched a really good PDR specialist can work wonders.
