I want to get this dent fixed for good. Could someone please give me links to parts and websites where I can get it repaired?

The dent is near the Apple logo at the back btw, can anybody tell me what that part of the Macbook is called please?

Small but annoying. I think I dropped a remote on it while I was sleeping and put the MacBook at the side of me.
 
You can't replace the outside lid without replacing the whole screen assembly. A few people here have tried similar things, but that part and the glass over the screen are glued together pretty intensely. It is near impossible to remove the glass without breaking it.
 
At least you can't see it all the time. I've got a dent in my speaker grill. It stares at me.
