Dear members,

DIY or not, trying to repair this dent will only mess up the boot lid.

Leave it as it is if possible.

a few years ago I had the same sort of ding on my then brand new mazda3 which was only a week old when I grazed the edge of are half open window. Annoyed the hell out of me but didn't want to paint the entire boot so left it the way it is. After some time you forget about it

Correct. I guess I am just being paranoid for the time being. These things are inevitable. This was my fault anyway as I was not being careful when reversing. Lucky to be left over with just a small dent.

If the paint is in tact, try the PDR place around Delkanda. Keen Auto. You can find the place in google maps and FB. I had a similar experience recently and the guy there was able to do a great job in getting it out.

Looks like a sharp ding, but a skilled paintless dent repair guy can pull that out.

If not, paste a sticker on it and forget about it. These things happen.

Thank you for recommending the place. But I guess I just leave it as it is for the moment.

Easiest DIY method is to get a similar boot lid from somewhere and replace the damage one.  

Btw, how did this accident occur ? My car also had couple of small dents by mangoes.  This is just cosmetic. Don't bother too much.

Wouldn’t say this an accident. I was reversing without noticing a large notice board hanging and the lid touched the tip of one of the corners of the board. Anyway  like you said I am not worried much.
