Morning all,

Yesterday while washing my Macan SD I have noticed a dent in my rear drivers side door.
It's not huge but now that I've washed it, the reflections make it stick out like a sore thumb. And now I know it's there, it's the only thing I can look at!

I took out a protection plan, GardX I think.
It's right on the angle of the door panel near the bottom, hopefully they can make it as good as new.

Do you think the result will be invisible?

Just had a look if you have a CARS plus policy they should sort it for you.

I think that's what I've got. But I can't find the exact paperwork at the minute :shock:

Sorry to hear about this, Martin. Gutting. :(

Probably some careless bugger in a car park opening their door onto yours. :roll:

Highly unlikely a smart repair will get in there but really depends on what is behind the panel. That’s a strong part too so might be hard to massage out. Could be a fill and paint job.

Yeah 99% sure that's where it's come from.

Me too. I'm OCD with where I park, which my daughters & girlfriend find highly amusing! :roll:

Some people are just so bl**dy thoughtless. :x

As you say, if using the car as intended, it's impossible to protect it 100% of the time.

I've had a few repairs over the years with Dent Devils and they were really good. I remember a BMW I had that got a door ding the day before a chap was coming to look at it. Dent Devil massaged it out and you'd never have known it was there. Done in half an hour at home too. Plus the guy won't take on a panel that he can't fix. I'd definitely give them a call.

I recently took my car to ‘The Dent Man’ in Twickenham bit it’s a bit far from you! Did a perfect job though.
