I cannot believe how callous some people can be. Someone threw something off a flyover and it has dented my bonnet! Lucky for me it didn't hit the windowscreen - could have been much worse.

Any recommendations on who can fix her little dented snout?

lucky for you it didn't go through your roof! glad you're ok though.
is it just a dent, or has it cracked the paint work?

have a look on here too, and I've got a number for the guy that pulled out boot out when we had that accident last year

Thanks Matt. It hasn't cracked the paintwork but it is scratched. Looks like it hit side on and went across the bonnet. I've been told it can probably be pulled out but quotes so far range from £160 - £500! I never know who to trust - I don't want to be ripped off but don't want to pay over the odds.

Will check your link out.

Thanks

It really is hard to understand what makes the type of moron that does something like that tick is'nt it ?

Best to get 3 quotes for peace of mind re rip off, may be a cheaper to get one from a breakers and painted.

Hope your over the shock

F*** that is really shocking, glad you are ok as it could have been so much worse!! idiots!!

hopefully if it's just scratched it shouldn't be a big job, i'm guessing under £200 to get it smoothed and repainted. or you could always get lucky and find a second hand bonnet...?
