I have got matching dents on both of my doors, just below the lock, where some one used to close the door with there knee. I have had alot of people tell me about the dent master people that they can work magic with tiny dents as it is all about massageing the panel back into shape with out cracking the paint so I would leave it to the pro's and not try yourself as you could have more damage then good. I no new door skins from peugeot are not alot of money. The joys of owning a tin can on wheels, we all love a 205 :lol:

Ditto, but if anyone on here is in the midlands area and can do this for me would be great,

 

I know its a long shot but you never know. :lol:

Can recommend paintless dent removal,very good and alot cheaper than a bodyshop.

 

Had a few taken out of my drivers door,the deeper the dent the better they come out.

 

Do a search for local PDR people,one man bands are prob the cheapest. :D

I bought myself a PDR set off e-bay, cost about £50 and came with 2 instructional DVD's, Practised on a mates everydayer, not as hard as you'd think!

PDR set,

Well whats the chain and hooks for ?

Do you have to be behind the dent to get it out?

Im not sure how it will work.

You position the chain and use the rod through it, it allows you to apply leverage, you also get grommets cause sometimes you have to drill a hole to get access to the panel. Yes, you have to get behind the dent, you start on the outside edge of the dent and gently massage it out. If you go too far and cause a high spot, you use a nylon punch to gently push the high spot back in. This method doesn't work on creases. Like I said, it takes a bit of practice, You also get different rod ends, but I've found the rounded bullet one to be the best, the flat edge ones make it too easy to cause high spots. (the rods also come in handy for all sorts of things! like fixing a dent in my fridge!)

I had quite a few nasty dings taken out, some however were just to bad to remove completely. Very worthwhile though.
