Hi guys,

Looking for some real expert advice or at least someone who knows a bit about paintwork on the next course of action.

Last week the car was vandalised probably by a ball bearing smashing two windows. I would have been less pissed off except one of the pellet's dented the paintwork on the rear wing (pics below) and I have no idea how to sort this out!
What would be the best way to remedy this with both cost and the end result in mind?...smart repair or body shop garage?
The car is 2001 seat toledo in artic grey (same as the leon in colour and more people visit this sub-forum so posted it here)

Images can be expanded twice. I patiently await your replies :)

Little shits, hope you get it sorted. I'm not an expert but I'd have though a decent chips away type company could repair something like that. However whether it could be pulled/knocked out or if it would be filled and blended I have no idea.

Think to be honest it's more of a fill and respray job but just wondered if anyone had any first hand experience of this
