Hi RB,
I'm intending to .
Also found some others (mobile de-denter) and also one in the west side (Yew Tee) but Lye would probably be the next I go to seek assessment...

Hi all,

I went to Ah Lye (Lye Design) yesterday and got the wheel arch dents fixed.

Initially, Ah Lye wasn't around and a staff mentioned that a small hole needs to be "drilled" (chinese translation) so the dent can be pushed back. I dropped my jaw for a moment because I just came across an article about DIY dent removal and one of the methods mentioned requires using an electric drill to form a hole on the surface so a screw can be inserted to pull out the dent!

FORTUNATELY, my worst fears were dispelled when I enquired further. The "hole" was be created beneath the wheel arch (where there's an additional layer of metal). This exposes a minute area where the metal surface can be messaged. The hole is then sealled with glue to prevent rusting.

Ah Lye came just in time and managed to patch 3 areas for me. The new larger dent was determined to be from a door knock (probably in my office) and was the hardest to fix but it was finally complete.

Cheers,
Alvin.

Congrats, at least your car's ok now. Hate them freaking door dings.

1 other area that couldn't be massaged is the surrounding area around the front bonnet roundel cuz there is an additional metal sheet below the bonnet! Even Ah Lye couldn't help!

Cheers!
