   Had my car crashed into outside my house and somebody did a runner, finally having to get it repaired.
   
   I've had a few quotes on getting it repaired so far, but only one garage has said the quarter is actually dented ... i've looked myself and can't even notice a dent!
   
   Just outta curiosity is there anyway I could get a 'relief' of it some how?
   
   Thanks in advance!

   By relief I did actually mean like getting an impression of it onto something?
   
   It's actually beginning to do my head in, as i'm looking from a lot of angles and can't see a dent what so ever, only the curve of the panel itself!

   Turn the car 90 degrees, so tat the panel with the dent is uppermost. Pour water onto the panel, and if any collects, that's where the dent is. Mark it with spray paint so you don't lose the dent and then roll the car back onto it's wheels. Take it to a local body shop and ask them to fill the dent for you.
   
   On the other hand, if it was Suzie Dent
   
   I'd fill that for you. (several times)
