Regarding repairs on dimpled panels, this system seems to do the trick if you can find a repairer with the kit. There are some good photos on the site showing what can be achieved.

The point raised by Derekcbr regarding repairing the dimpled vans should be borne in mind. I have a dimpled 2002 Puck 120L and due to bad driving I reversed it onto my drive and caught the rear end on the corner of the garage.The damage was a broken rear light and a dent in the panel above the light, not a great deal but bad enough for an insurance claim. Automative Leisure stated that the could no longer source the dimpled panel but stated they would replace the panel with a plain one, the insurance company would not agree to this and declared it a total loss. As the damage was relatively minor and only cosmetic I offered to buy it back off the insurance company and they agreed a fair price. I got the panel repaired by a third party and had to pay a NCC approved repairer to give the whole van a thorough checkover and confirm it had been properly repaired and was roadworthy. This was stipulated by the insurance company before they would reinsure it and they also insisted that it was reregistered with CRIS. Despite all this I was happy to keep my Puck as it would be difficult to find one in as good condition both inside and out.

It was fixed by a local vehicle body repair shop and now you can’t tell it has had some damage.



Would you let me know where you got that done, please.

The brand new models are still showing heavy reflection/distortion as can be seem by this photo of a new Dutch owned 540 fixed bed, taken by Facebook member Kathy Kirk. Not do bad on the two tones, especially with a side window option.

I still cannot believe how anybody at the factory believes it is acceptable to let something so disgraceful leave. Imagine the scenario where you have waited 8 months for your dream van, built to your specification only to be confronted with that mess when you go to collect it from the dealership.
