It's plastic so no you can't knock it out. Specialist job to get it right. If it's any consolation, I've had one on mine since I bought it 5.5 years ago and learned to live with it. You expect to see some imperfections on a vehicle over 12 years old.

Suggestion. Drill a couple of small holes in the bottom of the dent to act as a "key", put in some filler, ie, David's Isopon or similar, rub down and then spray with a coat of Halfords "plastic" paint primer and two coats of top coat plastic paint.

if its plastic try heating very gently with a hot air gun or powerful hair drier VERY GENTLY mine just popped out( the dent that is) with gentle pressure from behind. good luck
