Any creative ideas for me?

Have a dent on my fender from a hit and run in a public parking lot. It's too small to make an insurance claim and I can't afford to get the fender replaced/repainted right now. Anyone have any creative ideas on how to cover it for a few months

I really can't tell how big that dent is - how big would you say it is?

I would suggest doing paintless dent removal. It's pretty cheap and they do great work. In fact, I had a dent pulled today

I've been to 3 shops that do dent removal and they all shaked their heads and said um no we can't pop that out. It goes all the way from the wheel well to about 3 inches behind the headlamp. It's all wrinkly

Here's another angle.

All the way from the wheel? damn ya you can't be popping that out

i guess you could pop your headlight off and try pushing it out a lil yourself though i'd recommend extreme care if you try it
