Had to of been a shopping cart!

Was putting on my new Injen CAI and a co-worker blurted out HOLY ****, I was like what, turned and now my weekend is ruined.
I washed my car yesterday then went to Target parked way out in the lot, and I guess thats where the dent came from.
I had just put my Black headlights in and was admiring them and didn't notice the ****** dent in the fender.

Now I have to fix it, tear everything off the door and fender, and paint the fender and color blend the door.

Yeah, I have an almost identical dent in my right front wheel well. I think mine is maybe 3 or 4 inches higher than yours. If you know how to get it out (because it's on that bend), let me know.

I'm a bodyman and it's a easy fix, but It just really sucks because my car doesn't even have 3000 miles yet!

It will cost you a bit to fix it

Angry dents

I feel for you out there. I took my new P5 in black mica with leather in for tinting yesterday and noticed a nice Target cart dent in the top middle of the passenger front w/w. Not even 1000 miles yet. Chipped the paint in two places along with the nice dent. Despite being careful where I parked, people are inconsiderate ******** when it comes to parking lots (among other things). My P5 is a virgin no longer!

fks

Padanky, don't go to a body shop for this. By the picture it doesn't look like it broke through the paint.
Go to one of those shops that do bodyless dent removal. Can't help with names of companies since I'm north of the border.
But I'm sure you can find one in your area. They have removed dents a lot bigger than yours and the cost is much lower than a body shop.

I am a bodyman at a shop. I fix these kinda things everyday.
It's also in a spot that couldn't be fixed by them so-called paintless dent repair people.

Thanks though.
