I have a couple of small dents on My VTR. They aren't serious or anything and there is no paint damage, you only notice them when looking at the car from certain angles. Especially if it's been polished. There is one on both the driver and passenger side doors. They look like they have been caused by something putting a bit of pressure on them. There is no evidence of any sort of impact or anything. Most people can't even notice it but it annoys the hell out of me because i notice it easily. Could these be popped out using something as simple as a plunger? And is there any danger of me doing any more damage by trying this? I'm in 2 minds wether to leave it alone or not. Just wouldn't like to make it worse.

Depending on size and how they were caused, you can pull them out, or roll them out from the inside...

If they are too small, you wont get them out...

They look like they could be popped out quite easily. There is no fold line or anything in the middle of the dents if you know what i mean, and they're maybe about an inch in size. They're very very shallow, when running your hand along the door, you only feel it slightly going in. Would it be worth trying a plunger anyway? I'm more concerned i could do more damage than good.
