Came out to this and no note a few weeks ago, got a quote for £650 as it’s on the crease. Will be claiming my insurance (sadly). Dolphin Surf :-(
That sucks

Crap isn’t it, the issue as well is the crease. Ce la vie I suppose
What a shame, bad luck
Commiserations!
You could try putting boiling water on it and popping it out from the back of the panel if accessible.
Yeah I read about this, might give it a shot, can’t hurt really
People who don't leave a warning should be charged with criminal damage.
Video for reference, easier if you have a kettle. Good luck and let us know if it worked! [YouTube](https://youtu.be/J79uO_H0kzo?si=zoLFJjdyH46I2SQQ)
Agree. The worst part is I didn’t notice immediately as it was at the rear of the car so can’t narrow it down.
Thank you!
Dent puller will sort that out 100% got off nicely as the paint isnt damaged *edit damaged “badly”
TIL that electric cars often need special handling when being repainted 🎨⚡ Traditional car paint is cured in high-temperature ovens, but EV battery packs can’t safely handle those temperatures. Because of this, manufacturers either paint the car before installing the battery, use low-temperature curing paint, or require the battery to be removed or specially protected during repainting. That’s why not every body shop can repaint an EV—and why EV paint jobs can be more expensive.
First dent or first accident is always just heartbreaking 😭 that feeling that the car is not “new” anymore https://preview.redd.it/vpfbek7e6fbg1.png?width=1314&format=png&auto=webp&s=88a804b0b66f5c8feb2d2150cde1504ad866daff Came to the car about one month ago and discovered a present too

I’ve done it on other cars and it worked, but I had to get my hand behind it to push it. If it doesn’t just pop out you may need to disassemble a bit of the boot area to gain access
Worst one, door dinged my 6mo Dolphin by somebody else, no idea who or what. Just saw a rear door scrape.
Cant be worse than this: https://preview.redd.it/38c0dd91uibg1.png?width=2860&format=png&auto=webp&s=eeecd703f0cc27a112229cad1a0a4c63f8c67656 (Involved in a chain collision when the car only had less than 5500 kms on the odometer 🥹)
Ah crap!
Ouch!
I would have cried
OMG, I've the exact same dent on my Atto3! Tell me if you were able to buff it out on your own. Considering going to a mechanic or doing it myself
Will let you know, the small plunger arrived last night!
Haha it happens 😅 at least now it’s finally at the BYD centre being repaired. Should get my baby back in a couple days
*C'est la vie Sucks for you bro.
