3LL Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thats some nasty luck mate, i would have shat myself! I suppose at least it never dented the pillars or roof, that may have ended up a lot more expensive to fix. If Jamsey finds another then i'd be keen to take it off your hands mate, mine still has a massive dent from the vandal that smashed my windscreen, if Jamsey takes it then it's all good though Yeah sure, if it helps someone else out on the site then im more than happy to sort. Jamesy has first dibs tho I would sell it if i had some where to store it till a buyer came along, but sadly its not the sort of thing i can just pop in the shed! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart10 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Bad news sorry to hear this.

Not good, hope you can get it sorted out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Plethora Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Sorry to hear this, had the same thing happen to mine, mine did the roof, bonnet, scuttle and windscreen so looks like you got off easy . Does it at least close as it is? When baldy repaired my bonnet (aftermarket) he thickned up the metal bonnet catches, worth checking the clasping bits over as well. At least you are in one peice and although it's money it should be an easy enough fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 would attaching bonnet lifters be a good alternative to bonnet catches, at least then if it opens it can only go so far?.. maybe. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
