I'm a bit gutted as for a 11 yr old car it was mint not a scratch or dent on it. I asked a few PDR companies and none would touch it as they said it was too deep and would stretch/crack when popping out, so I thought what the hell I might as well give it a bash (Excuse the pun) and popped most of it out with my top of the range PDR tool kit (The end of a toothbrush).

So still unhappy with how it was looking I was faced with paying £170 and getting a bodyshop to repair it so I decided for the the more economical approach of whacking a badge over it :p

It covers it completely and you cannot tell it's there unless you're me or my Dad.. He definitely knows it's there lol.
But I think it makes the back too cluttered especially as it's next to another badge.
Sooo.. I was thinking debadge?

It looks more tidier but I do like the badges so I will miss them lol. I don't know what to do, in the long run I will get a second hand boot and swap everything over but for now shall I keep the sticker and leave it as it is or lose the badges or sticker and just show the dent off like the **** driver I am :confused1:
This concludes my dilemma, I'll continue with my life now.. and fixing my Dad's car.

If neither I would get a quote from a pdr company now to finish it off ???
Did the paint stretch or crack when you popped it back out ?
