nixy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Some of you have seen this already via other means - Friday 13th got me, or rather something flying off a lorry on the other side of the road. Whacked my bonnet then hit the windscreen which was only slightly chipped. Scared me to death it was such a loud bang. It's worse than the photo shows really. Nice big dent too. Lee reckons probably a bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Gutted nixy at least you know the bill won't be too big with the contacts on here! Hope you get it sorted soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyranchers Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Time for a 313 bonnet upgrade then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Ouch you can see the dent looks like about the size of a 50p I'm sure it can be popped out as it isn't near the edge and the paint sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 The halo from the dent looks bigger than a 50p to me Dent guy should be able to sort that part and a local ChipsAway chap should be able to fix up the paint. Down here you'd be looking at about £150-200 all in I would say (~£125 for paint and ~£50 for dent). Hope you get it sorted soon Nic, shouldnt be hard to fix, just cost a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Although a shock at the time, the main thing is no harm came to you. I'm sure a good bodyshop would resolve that without a new bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke0549 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I was driving along the a40 and what appeared to be a piece of cardboard flew off the top.. I watched the flight of the cardboard and only at the last second did I realise it was a piece of wood. Luckily it dropped just before it hit it and bounced out the way. I now keep well out of lorrys way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Or wait and come to Wales and get the dent done for a £10 Judging by the response to this Dave.viewtopic.php?f=57&t=60606&start=0&hilit=wales I'll probably not contact him. But if you do come to Wales Nixy, you can swop it with my old one. It's just stuck in the outbuilding. I'm sure a couple of the boys will do it for you and then buy you a G&T for you letting them.

Just seen this - amazingly kind of you and the reason this forum is such a great community. Unfortunately though I won't be attending Wales this year but thanks again for the kind offer.

The Seasider Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 If you can get a PDR guy to remove the dent - that scratch should touch in with with touch up, build it up, give it a day to dry, wet and dry, a quick machine polish and Bob's.... I've sorted bigger ones than that with this method - don't even know where they are now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
