You can buy cheap sets of panel beating hammers and dolleys. Take a look at supercheap or whatever.

Use a dolley on the outside, and nock the dint out from the edge of the dint. If you nock it straight out from the middle of the dint, the metal can sometimes fold.

My Mini clubman has the same problem. I have a dint in the same place. I just tapped it out with a panel beaters hammer and filled it with bog. No one will notice when it is painted. :D

I dont think removing the dint will help... clubbies always leak :lol:


Make sure the gaskets between the light body and the panel are in good condition. The water goes in between the the light and the panel because the gasket is knackered. Also it will go in between the lens and the body for the same reason.
