    Unhappy Bull bar dent repairs

    Hi,

    I've hit a stump with my bull bar (don't ask! ) and I'd like to get the dent out. Pics are attached. I wanted to ask if anyone has done this before and what's the best way to go about it? Panelbeater or bar fabricator or Rover mechanic? I'd do it myself but I'm in Perth and all my goodies (rattlegun, oxy, sledge hammer, etc) are back on the farm many miles away. So i'll probably have to pay someone to do it.

    Can anyone reccommend somewhere in Perth to get this done? Any ideas how much it will cost?

    Some details: the damage is around the number plate only. There is no other twisting or damage outside that immediate area (thank god!). In the pic you can see a dent behind the compliance sticker (under the Land Rover logo) - that is unrelated, happened years ago. I won't bother with insurance because the excess will probably exceed the repair cost.

    Thanks, any advice is appreciated.

    I'd leave it until you can get back and do it yourself. It's only cosmetic. ( bit of a battle scar to show off !)
    I fixed a similar dent in mine with a bfh and a bit of bog and then sprayed over with black paint. It's not perfect but not too bad.

    Just unbolt it and belt it back? Hook it up to another vehicle and pull?

    You could always just leave it and say you his a bunny...

    Heh heh normally I don't mind a battle scar or three but the car isn't 100% mine, so I really should get it fixed out of courtesy. The farm is a three day drive away, so unfortunately my tools are out of reach till xmas holidays :-(

    I had mine repaired by a crash repairer on Collier Rd. Can't remember there name at moment, but they are just off Tonkin Freeway, on Collier Rd heading towards Morley.
    They are on the left between Tonkin and first set of lights about half way down the road.
    It was also sent off for powdercoating, so came back looking like new.
    Sorry I cant help with there name, as I'm not in Perth at moment.

    I'm in Wilson, near Cannington.

    Thanks for the heads up on Collier Rd, I'll check it out.
