    I have a small dent in the right front wing, near the headlamp, of my 2000 Ford Mondeo. Can anyone give me a (rough) estimate of the repair costs? The dent is about 3 inches across and about half and inch deep. The paintwork hasn’t really been effected either. Should I go to my main dealer or a specialised panel beater? Can anyone recommend one in the south east?

    It might be helpful if you could post a photo of the damage to get a rough estimate. A picture paints a thousand words and all that...

    Volvoboy is the forum's resident panel beater so he might be able to help you. You could drop him a pm.

    Anyone have an idea how much it would cost to repair the panel in the pic, priced a new panel at bodyshop and they wanted over €600 :eek:

    Thanks for the advice guys. I have attached a photo of the small dent in the front right wing of my 2000 Ford Mondeo. Hopefully this will help with estimates.
