Hi guys,
I have a number of dents/bumps/whatever else you wanna call them on the roof of my 380, so I've got a couple of questions!
Number 1, how easy is it to change roof? (sounds hard now that I write it down :P)
Number 2, how easy would it be to FIND a white or black roof?
Thanks again!

You want to replace your roof?
I assume you mean repair it?
Got mine resprayed for around $350

Nah, I mean replace the metal haha! I guess that'd be pretty hard....
The paint is fine, it's just dented, so perhaps get the dents fixed?

To replace is not hard but you will need paint after so colour of donor roof really makes little difference

Have you considered paintless dent repair? If the paint is unbroken nad the dents aren't too deep that could be an option and allow you to avoid a respray and sourcing a roof.

No I haven't!
Now that you mention it though ;)
Know of anywhere that does this kind of thing?
I have no idea how they got there, sometimes I can hit them out from the inside of the car, but they just come back again!

A lot of panel beaters can do PDR work. Others probably have contacts. It's not a rare practice.
Search for "Paintless dent repair Victoria" and you'll find heaps of business' that will do it. Big name companies will probably charge you a bit more but one would assume they probably do a good job because they wish to uphold their reputation.
Be sure to research them using Google "Discussions" feature to see if anyone has a review on the PDR you're interested in using.

I used this company Amazing Dent Repair based in Airport West (see link - http://amazingdentremoval.com.au) to get a bonnet dent from a golf ball and a crease from a door panel removed. They did a great job; especially since golf ball dents are trickier than most cause they oftem stretch the metal upon impact. The owner Sebastian was great to deal with. Was much cheaper than a traditional repair and respray. Done the same day as drop off.
