Body shops employ all kinds of sorcery when it comes to correcting crimes against sheetmetal. Their arsenal of tools is wide and varied and almost always includes a massive suction cup or two. You know, just like the powerful GoPro suction mount.

A skilled hand can apply the suction cup, give a swift yank and fix large, unsightly dents as if they were never there. Curious to apply the theory to your own bruised fender? You're in luck. The video below shows a handful of Kiwis getting crafty with a GoPro mount to fix the rear quarter on their Starlet GT.

Don't have a GoPro? Don't sweat it. Depending on the size and location of your ding, you can pull off the same trick with a little water and an old-school toilet plunger. The move has been saving teenagers from parents' wrath for years. Check out the clip below to see just how well the suction-cup bodywork fix turns out.

This is a fail.

Look between 0:30 and 0:34 in the reflection and the dent is clearly still there

Video won't load on my iPhone, but if this is MCM, they aren't serious. They do everything tongue in cheek and are hilarious. Moog and Marty have a pretty polished show on their YouTube channel that make fun of a lot of stuff.

This does work to a minimum, the dent is.still there because when a dent happens the metal stretches.

This is not a complete "remove your dent and everything is.back to normal" type scenario. Its just a slight fix to a deeper dent.
