Some son of a ***** :evil: too knocked my car jus days after i drove it from the dealer. Now i got a bad record from AAMI and so the insurance jus soared $600 more to about $2100 for NRMA.:cry: Anyone has any idea how I can get a cheaper comprehensive insurance now ? or is there any other alternative insurance company to NRMA or AAMI.

And can anyone suggests to me how much would a dent about 10 x 10 cm on the rear bumper cost for the smash repair

Thanx mates

Hair dryer and keyboard air spray cleaner....well i heard that works...

call a painless dent remover.....they will do a 10x10cm dent for about $150

get a hairdryer...........dry the dent for about 30secs - 1 min........after its all hot get that keyboard air can spray and spray it.....it should pop out

as i said smash repairs can rip u off.....but the average price to pop a 10x10cm dent is about 150

but i reckon that it will still have some sort of a mark right ? as in wont be as good as it used to be right ? thinking of bringing it to a smash repairer if its onli costing about 150.

another qns if i use the hairdryer method, is there anything that can replace a keyboard air can spray.no idea where i can get one of that.

on another thought, im wondering if the method actually works.shall try one day

u can try it for $10 or go to a repairer for 150+....... up to you

I don't think so

u r dealing with plastic here m8

I have the same dent in my rear bumper
i just put my hand inside and pushed it out
it looks better now

I'll get a body kit soon with a new rear bumper, so no need to fix that now

I've never heard of this. Wow, that's good to know for future reference. It's only a matter of time before I get a dent in my Yaris.
