Default Someone hit me!

Doing a quick detail the other day, in the right light, I could see a small fist sized depression on my top. Looks like someone literally just walked by and smacked it. I never park it where something could fall on it, so this is the only explanation I can think of.

No crease, no paint damage, just a very slight indentation a couple of inches across. You only notice it if looking at the right angle and light. Looks like it could just be popped out.

Is this an easy fix?

There are a lot of "depends" in the answer. A competent body shop is the best answer.

Try a paintless dent repair place first. Large dents like that should be easy to pop out; those guys can do wonders without major surgery.

That's TERRIBLE!!!!! Try Paintless Dent Removal. Those guys are wizards.

Soooo very sorry about the dent. Probably a envious jerk smacked it like you said. Just remember, what goes around comes around. He'll get his one day.....

I agree with the paintless dent removal recommendation. I've seen and heard of some amazing results.

A good dent removal person can deal with this issue. I suggest you contact the nearest benz or porsche dealer to get a referral as they deal with these issues all the time. Sorry....
