If the dents are very minor then theres a possibilty they can be removed however, the panel will have to come off the car to do so as the actual sill sits very close behind it. Paintless dent repair companies cannot get their tools behind it. Another thing is that the side skirt is made of very thin aluminium so the metal usually stretches (has both times in my case) the result is that the paint bruises and will need a respray anyway.

IMO if youve got to take it off you may as well replace it with a new one - or a second hand one in mint condition. Give www.audittspares.co.uk a go. If youre after a silver one Im afraid you will have to get in line as Ive been que'd up here for the last 2 weeks :lol: The alternative is to get one in any colour and get it resprayed.

If you fancy having a go at removing it yourself (its pretty straight forward) PM me youre email and Ill send a "how to" in word format with photos.

Good luck, Joss.

I have a draper 'dent puller' that I've never used and you can havce for the £10 plus p&p that I paid for it

 

Hi Joss

Many thanks for responding to my query.

I have sent you a PM.

Hi CamV6

Thanks for your offer but I think that a draper 'dent puller' would be too big.

Laurent

 

its only a small one :roll: - the dent puller that is

 

Hi

I have discovered 2 small dents on one side skirt (probably children playing football in the street).

What is the best and cheapest option to remove them?

Thanks

Take the ball? :lol:

Take there balls if they have dented your TT :twisted:

 

Had the same issue on mine.

Tried a dent removal company but as stated earlier in the thread , because they cant get their tool behind the sill without removing it they didnt want to know.

In the end I took it to a bodyshop for it to be filled and re-sprayed.

Expect little change from £200

You haven't tried it ? I'd have to have a go with a gadget to see if it DOES do the job. Go and dent someone's car, and see if you can pull it out

PS. Make sure it's not mine !! :wink:

 

I suspect it is a football, but I have got no idea how these 2 small dents came on our car. I just noticed them recently. The cost of removing them is a lot of money. I am so angry!!!
