some punk dented my hood

Gooby · 08-23-2006, 05:51 PM

Sorry for tha crappy camera phone pics but u could see tha three dents. It looks like somebody sat on it

I have no Idea who did this \???

You think like a dent wizard could pop them out or do i gotta get a new hood?

O and this keeps coming up on the dash when i put my key in anybody know wat it is?

longtran · 08-23-2006, 05:54 PM

yes, if you go to a professional they should pop it out. the warning means teh steering wheel is lock. just turn the steering wheel and then stick the key in.

the dash idiot light indicates a malfunction with your steering lock meachanism. Several of us have had this. Requires IMMEDIATE attention at dealer. Steering wheelcould lock on you while your driving...then the dent on your hood would match the one all over the rest of your car.

long is right if it occurs occasionally, but when it starts happening frequently and sometimes in RED, it's bad. I had to get my steering column replaced.

this happen to a member while we were installing his pmb. it turn out the steering wheel was lock because he turned his wheel all the way or something. its just like other cars. just turn the wheel and stick the key in.

At first I thought this was enroutte's thread. Are you sure that's not from hail damage?

Gooby · 08-23-2006, 06:03 PM

i dont think it was hail....and i park my car in the garage. In Person it looks like somebody sat on it.

medrep · 08-23-2006, 06:05 PM

Looks like a dent from a kid's ball or something?

Looks too high up for it to have been someone sitting on it? It always hurts less when you know it wasnt done intentionally!

Sorry though mate, loks like it could pop out easy though by the right people?

shragon · 08-23-2006, 06:09 PM

a dent removal place should be able to take those right out.

medrep · 08-23-2006, 06:10 PM

ahh, three dents!

Obviously not a ball then, a job for columbo I feel!!

One of the girls I work with has just had to have a complete new roof fitted on her E90! apparently 2 guys were chasing another guy and boxed him in by her car, the only way he could get away was to jump over the car. He damaged the bonnet, boot and roof!

hehe u guys are funny.....but it pisses me off sooooo much when i walk by i try to not look.. Im actually goin on vacation this friday for a week so ill prolly go to a dent wizard when i get back. It used to look like this without dents.

ksfrogman · 08-23-2006, 07:55 PM

I see more clearly now from that last photo. Looks like someone either sat or leaned on it with their hands.

That should be fairly easy to fix. You also have the option of getting that new CF hood.

e90fanatic · 08-23-2006, 08:02 PM

hey man...i also got a dent on my car just yesterday. Some fu*ker decided to hit my car with something. Talking to two dent specialists right now. Maybe we can go together...lemme know where you are. I just want a good dent doctor with the right price. Some guy crazy enough to tell me it may cost up to $800 depend on the repair on a small dent.

Question: Does anybody know if the guy can just take out the wheel and open some kind of panel to access the inside corner of the bumper instead of taking it off? Will it be the same as installing Brex..etc? Thanks in advance

Gooby · 08-23-2006, 08:14 PM

lol in that last photo those are just clouds reflected...no dents. But tha CF Hood did cross my mind, but i dont think it would look that good with artic unless i paint it. e90fanatic pm about the details, there is a Dent Wizard in Leonia NJ I actually went to go check it out today but it was closed.
