Hi,
Travelling to work a rogue stone made a bid for freedom from a passing vehicle and wanted to become friends with my car.
It hit bonnet and then wanted it's deserts on my windscreen.
Thankfully the windscreen got away with it, but the bonnet was not so lucky.
I was left with a dirty big stone chip and a small dent.
I can only imagine old Peugeots from the early noughtys were made with body panels bordering the thickness of tin foil ending in it being dented so easily.
I was somewhat annoyed as the cars body work was flawless of imperfections and being a touch OCD my eye keeps drawing to the dented chipped bonnet.
Tonight I removed the sound deadening mating from behind the bonnet and attempted to gently push the dent out.
Without holding any great expectations I started pushing and massaging the dent with the handle of a screwdriver and slowly but surely it slowly popped back out.
It now looks perfect from the outside again and the next step is to get the chip touched up with some correct coloured paint that's been mixed for me at the local motor factors.
I'm just hoping my artistic skills of painting are as good as my dent removal skills 🤣
