My advise? Climb every mountain, ford every stream, follow every rainbow...to find the best paintless dent repair (PDR) person in your town. Ask around....check w/ local owners.
I have a guy here who is a god! He drives an MCS, is super nice, exceptionally reasonable, and does flawless work. He understands MINI owners (no small feat) and, early on, knew his way around a MINI better than anybody.
He has helped me out so much. I had some (2) small dents in my bonnet (left by some drunken idiot, I think

) and this guy delt with them for about $35 each (if I recall)...
while I waited.
Find somebody like that and you'll be hooked up!!!
