Does anyone know how/if this can be repaired. Due to its location I'm not sure you can access it from the other side to pop the dent out. Any ideas would be welcome. Gutted this has happened.
Bullet hole decals are a great option.It's for sure annoying but not catastrophic. If you find a solution, good. Otherwise you could roughen the dent, fill with filler and paint.
Personally, I would wait and see if I can get used to it. Such "bullet holes" have a special patina......
A decent dent removal business should at the very least, make that a lot better. Ask your local agent who they use. Try a Fiat dealer, those things dent in a stiff breeze so they'll probably have someone on speed dial.Does anyone know how/if this can be repaired.

I had this many years ago. Someone used a catapult to smash my side windows on my porker. Annoying. Try glueless dent removal. Find an expert in your area.There's a bit of a craze here where feral youths spend their time firing tiny ball bearings at property using slingshots/catapults. I found the ball bearing under the car door.
The feral kids are here already - on a street nearby !A decent dent removal business should at the very least, make that a lot better. Ask your local agent who they use. Try a Fiat dealer, those things dent in a stiff breeze so they'll probably have someone on speed dial.
I hope this moronic craze doesn't make its way to Hampshire.
That must be really infuriating. The upside is that the little sh*tbags were obviously aiming for your windscreen and missed that - it would have been undriveable while you waiting on a new one. I think that dent can be filled, smoothed and painted quite easily - won't be visible after that. Good luck.There's a bit of a craze here where feral youths spend their time firing tiny ball bearings at property using slingshots/catapults. I found the ball bearing under the car door.
As long as they stick to their lemonade stand....maybe it's worth showing them how the real world works and setting a stand up on our drive, for my kids to run.... 10p a glass cheaperThe feral kids are here already - on a street nearby !
I hope you have reported it to the police and posted it on your local FB group.
Reason to contact the police is that they will have to raise a crime reference number and it will appear on their stats.The FB group I can go with that, but telling the local police !!!
This kind of mindless damage from feral verminous little sh1ts who roam many of the UK streets really infuriates me. I feel for you buddy I really do.
As Skydance has said, the glued PDR method, using a slide hammer may make it look a whole lot better, but I doubt without access to the rear a fantastic job can be achieved.
As someone has said they were clearly aiming for the glass, in some ways at least that could have been replaced more easily to a satisfactory conclusion.
