Bonnet dent/scratch, any advice?

So today after work I noticed this. Any idea how much it might cost if I go directly to MB? Or, maybe someone in London can refer me to a place?

There's only one dent btw, near the rim of the bonnet, in the 2nd pic that's just a reflection in the middle.





It's a delicate job, I want a place that will do a good clean job.

That sucks - is it just the image, or did some of the paint also get chipped off? If the paint is intact, try getting a quote from a paintless bodyshop. It's easily accessible, so I don't suspect that it'll cost you a lot of money, as they won't need to putty and repaint the hood to blend the paint.

Some paint did get chipped off, but only a little. If I get it repaired, I will be needing that small part re-painted or using some sort of touch up.

I would have a paintless dent remover fix it. Then use some dr paint chip to touch it up.

I agree with the paintless dent removal. I had a sharp dent like yours. $50 and I can't tell it was ever there.
