When I got the sprite I'm driving atm the only thing wrong with it is it has a few dents so I got it thinking "yer I'll get them sorted pretty quickly" 4 months on and 101 other jobs done, the dents remain. Heres a few pictures of them:

This one's at the rear of the roof, I've tried to push it out from inside but the headlining is to taught and I'd prefer not to have to remove it...

very shallow dents below the rear window

Basically I'd like to know how repairable these are and whether people would recommend me having a go myself and if so how.

Thanks in advance

that rear one is quite nasty..... you'd need a professional to do that i think, fuel tank out etc...

Saw this on a previous post, not sure how reliable it is though

Yer its the rear one that I really can't work out whether it is repairable, the one on the roof i thought could probebly pull out quite easily but I might try that repair method shown in the video on that and the small ones on the side. Just need to find the spray. I'll let you know how I get on... Thanks for the help!

Let me know how the dent removal goes with the technique shown on the video. Got a nasty dent on my Pug that i might try that method on.

Thanks

I had a go with that method, but didn't work for me I must say. instead I made a dent puller kind of thing which got the ajoritey of the roof dent out..1 sort of down...5 to go
