I had a similar dent appear on my car, and i ended up with it parked with the dent facing the sun for a couple of hours and then reached under and pushed it back

I think its too low down for a tow ball. Given where it is, unless you are a religious sunday morning polisher, and looking at the car id say not, it could have been there for yonks.

My money is on a dwarf wall/post around a car park or similar. On a plastic bumper, you would feel nothing edging too close to one.

Parmit, Gatster and other non flash users

The page with pictures can be viewed HERE on devices which don't have a flash player installed.

For the record it is a newly created web page using HTML5 but the photo gallery used Flash Player content.

I've popped an HTML only version on the link for you.

Also for the record MickS I am not repeat NOT a Sunday Morning Worshipper of the family god and it hasn't been there ages the car is only 8 months old! Also dwarves with posts should be banned from car parks

I found Dad's hot air paint stripper thingy so I'll give it a go with that tomorrow. I hope it doesn't melt the bumber!

Definitely caused by parking on the pavement. Looks like the front of a push chair has hit it or the foot of the child in the push chair. Mum or Dad was probably distracted using mobile at the time.

Mysterious dent is now history and you can't even see where it has been. The old hot air paint stripper thingy did the trick.

Many thanks all.

Shock! Horror! there is a percievable, but much smaller dint at the original site.

Another go with the paint stripper thingy and push it out, but how do I stop it popping back in again??
