Hi All ,

I was driving on the M-Way on sunday, doing 80, behind a BMW.
The BMW kicked a stone up, and its bashed into the bonnets front tip.
Anyway, heres a pic:




Its bout 1cm wide and 1cm high - and pretty dented in.

Is there a way i can fix it myself? Or will i need to get one of em no- chips companies out?
Do them companies actully match the colours - ive been told, it will now never look the same as it did

Thanks for ya help

Chips away can do it, the result will be very good but over time they start to show more, get chips away to do it and save up for a respray in the mean time

Try one of those do-it-yourself set you can get on eBay. They work great for small chips. I got out 3 chips without problems. Cost: 20 bucks... The Chip-away guy would cost me 4 times as much!

Here is a link with image:
