Hello Everyone,

I recently came back to my Leon FR, after a week away, to find that some *!$% had tried to kick open my fuel filler cap and left a nice dent on the edge of my offside quarter panel. Having just taken delivery of my ST Cupra I was days away from selling my FR, and so I'm wondering what I can do to remove the dent?

Couple of pictures here:

I've tried three PDR firm's already, two of which said they couldn't do it and the other said it's plated (?) behind and can't be accessed.

Has anyone attempted to remove this panel before? Or is it truly a bodyshop/stealer job?

Thanks in advance!

PDR's need to get access to the rear of the panel to work on the dent. you can look to see if you can gain access to it via the boot and the opening to the tail lights.

I had one removed (trolly ding about the size of fifty p) on the opposite side rear panel and a body sized one on the bonnet. couldn't even notice them afterwards

But if it blocked its a bodyshop repair.
