As above preferably near me that arent going to rip me off?
Its important that they know what they're doing though!

Basically did this a couple months back - had an insanely long day and didnt think there was anything behind me when i reversed up a kerb so didnt bother looking (im know im a tard)...only for a big f*ckoff oak tree to jump out of nowhere and put a pretty sizeable dent in the bootlid/tailgate.

The dent in the boot popped out more or less (there is a tiny remainder there) but the real bit that annnoys me is the crumpled bit to the left of the '306' badge.

Not possible to get at it really from inside the boot.

I think it might need to be filled and sprayed? Anyone know anyone in Bucks/Herts who is good but reasonable? (dont want to pay over the odds as its a 10 year old car but it does p*ss me off looking at it!)

Cheers

You should be able to remove the plastic cover on the inside to get access?

2nd hand tailgate and slam panel in the same colour might be a cheaper alternative.

I was under the impression the metal bit that's crumpled up next to the 306 badge couldn't be replaced as its welded into the body panels? That part is also guarded from inside the boot by another metal panel which I can't get behind really. Can't really be bothered replacing the boot lid as will leave me with more parts to dispose of Sad

Whilst on the subject, how about the insanely annoying place of under the rear light ( either side) where the metal strip joins the rear quarter? How to get a dent out of that !?
