Amazing repair Martin! you won't forget that one in a hurry! I don't think people watching this video will appreciate the skill involved in removing damage like that from an Aluminium wing/fender, let alone taking a prestige car apart! Although both were massively challenging, you were very brave starting with the middle dent first, spending all that time on it not knowing if the sharp crease near the headlight was even going to come out. Luckily it all went to plan. If I ever have to take one of these cars apart, I'll be watching this back with my cardboard at the ready👍
Thanks Jake. To be honest I’m not sure why I started with the other dent, I won’t call it the easy one because it was still Tough to fix! I was kind of hoping not to have to strip the car to bits for the sharp crease and to repair that crease was a blur! That cardboard trick is great! I was shown that when I always an apprentice Panel beater
Martin, that repair amazed me, if i had not seen it step by step i would honestly have thought the wing had been replaced with a brand new one and painted.
Thanks Lee. Yes it was a big chance especially as I hadn’t stripped one before. But I had the time and the backing of the customer to take the repair on. And it worked out!!
Martin, that was one of the most intense R&Is ive ever seen. Not sure if I would have even tried because of the liability, so good on you. Guys in some of my body shop accounts joke about me using cardboard to keep track of where the screws and bolts go, these are also the same guys that put all the bolts in a paint can and have 4 or 5 left over and still send the car away “completed”. So sketchy it would keep me awake. Great great great repair bud.
Im in the bodywork profession and fill and prepare vehicle s for paint so watching these vlogs and such precise professionalism is outstanding they are a joy to watch and valued info n tips! 👌👍
Thank you so much Andy it's great to hear that people like yourself in the trade see another area of body repair which interests... always something new out there! Thank you for watching
This repair made my head hurt! Thought you might have to remove that V12! 😉 Great job as always! 🍻 By the way…I did some PDR work on my M4 this afternoon and I’m quite pleased with the results. Your videos have been a great resource!
It made my head hurt also!! It was a “let’s go for it and hope it works” moment and our customer backed our decision as he really didn’t want it painting, and it all worked out great ! Well done repairing your own vehicle 😊👍🏼
احسن pdr على واجه الارض ان من الجزائر واتمنا من الله ان يجمعني واراك امامي انشاء الله لايوجد في عالم احسن منك في هذا العمل ارجو من الله ان يوفقك في عملك وان اصبح مثلك في مجال pdr
Can you reach the headlights bulbs without doing all that? I could only imagine a customer at the service center hearing “sure we can replace that blown bulb, we just have to remove the door first, that’ll be $500-$600”. 😂
Well you certainly have the hang of bending Bentleys back in shape. You can come and do mine...when I buy one and get it bent. A fantastic result ! If this was my car then you'll be pleased to know that it's good enough for me. My only question is why didn't this Bentley need a rigorous 10,000 Road test. High 5s all round.
Great watch and fab repair to keep the cars original paint. Off this video topic… but have you footage to show examples of when PDR isn’t possible? Its good to also understand when a limit of dent has been exceeded beyond repair. People think PDR can fix everything… but realistically some cant be saved, even if it looks mild.
Great question. The second dent was sooo sharp, it would never glue pull. I barely repaired it either the super sharp bars. Unfortunately all the extra work was needed to gain access behind the damage
Hi MountainMan. Yes unfortunately I didn’t intend on making a full length video I was meant to be getting enough edits for a Shorts vid….. but I could not condense it down to 1 minute and it was worthy of a full video even though it’s vertical. It’s a right pain in the nads to film one way or another and I couldn’t get the vertical edits to work in Landscape. My future videos will be back in landscape Hope you still enjoyed the vid Thanks Martin
