Okay
The panel beater took to the car and the roof had about 9 dents in it. That was sorted today and checked to be within 0.5mm of spec with a bent steel ruler. Was a true awesome sight to see a old school panel beater that can stretch and shrink metal to his will. The roof was very "spongy" in places if you ran your hand over it. Those areas was shrunk back to size and the "spongy bouncy" metal was taught again. Around the rear 7 other dents was removed on the quarter panels and boot area. So far so good.

Own some minis, break them, fix them, improve them, test them to the limit....
