Hey,
Heres a tip that u all probably know but ill post it anyway... I had a pipe that had the absolute shit bent out of it with dings and crap all over it and then i took it too my mate who is a panel beater and all he did was heat it up with an oxy and popped the dings out with a screw driver and bent the stinger back without breaking it or damaging the pipe at all.... now it looks awesome
Next time your expensive pipe gets bent up, take it to a panel shop hehe....
