With some help from Tomnova16

Somone decided to boot in all the windows on my car back in December 3 weeks after buying it brand new

I finally got some time to take it apart and fix it at the weekend

Big ol' dent there....

I took the insides out. Amazingly to take the door cards out you need to take the seats out too

Popped the dent out with some specialist tools, one named screwdriver, the other named rubber mallet

It was popped proud of the surface of the wing then tapped back in again to get it flat.

Ground it so it was smooth and bare metal...

Bit of Dolphin Glaze to get it flat...

Then time for some paint...

Unfortunately the colour match and my skills as a painter weren't up to much so I have to get Tom to paint it again for me at the weekend

Pisses me off all the jelous pricks about.

Some little shit keyed my car, scratched right down the drivers side rear quarter. Done a couple of days before Trax too

My mate buffed most of it out but still needs respraying. Then 3 days after Trax some dick head twated my wing mirror whilst the car was parked in a side street. Was plenty of room! No idea how they even hit it, yet alone push it flat against the door.

Also after having my nice new saxo a couple of days some wanker put the window through. Nothing on show, busy road.

Did i mention having a tyre slashed to?

It doesn't look too bad in the picture, but, the dent was sooooo deep. Far too deep for a paintless repair to be done to it. Also, when the glass came down on the panels it has chipped it really really badly - the paint Fiat put on it is worse than shit, it's thin and done in really cheap crappy stuff

White primer, black spray over the top to stop the repair getting wet as we couldn't paint it at the weekend. I'll wash the black spray paint off next weekend with gunwash to get the job finished
