sorry for your little accident mate ,
you can reduce the size of the photos using a photo shop programme .115 kb is not big ,if you do not have a photo shop programme just go to www.uploadit.org and get a free account upload the photo in there and get put the photos address between [img]photos address[/img]

doh!

not on ur r4 i hope?

dents....try popping it out from the inside....otherwise u can get suction cup thingies to try and pull them from the outside.

if impossible to get to u may have to drill a hole..insert a selftapper and pull that way...then fill obviously and paint...ball joicy!

other than that try find one of these ppl that do paintfree dent removal...i keep sein cars drivin round advertising the service....must be available.

That wont pull out with a sucky thing, and there is a crease in the wing, so filler or new wing is in order by the looks of things, always happens near Christmas doesnt it
