BMW Z4 1/4 Panel Damage

BMW Z4 1/4 Panel Damage

The damage above was caused by a wheelie bin

Usually damage like this on a 1/4 panel can be extremely difficult to repair, luckily for this BMW owner the Z4 has a single skinned 1/4 panel meaning there is access to the rear of the dent whereas many cars have a double skinned arch with very little access to push the dent out. 

This repair took around 2 hours to complete using only a handful of tools, i used a dent rod with an ultra soft tip on to push the bulk of the dent out and then swapped to a smaller harder tip to complete the finer detail in the body line. I have taken a picture midway through the repair to show the progress..

Notice the high points in the panel where i have been pushing the dent out, these will get removed at regular intervals throughout the repair process using a hammer and tap down tool as picture below..

After a couple of hours of pushing the dent out and tapping the high spots in this repair came out pretty well and certainly saved the customer a costly bodyshop repair.

The tool you can see on the boot in this picture is actually a suction tool for holding my umbrella as it rained on and off throughout this repair and i use it to keep the rain off the panel so i can see what i am doing.

This dent repair was carried out in Aldridge, Walsall.
