Would it be easy enough to get fixed?
 
Fook Dan,
thats a bummer, no expert but might be hard to put back without damaging the paint. Some wizards out there tho. Could be a new trend on bonnet winglets if not! sorry just tryin to make light of the situation.
 
it can be tapped down but it might leave a very small dent along the bend line, i'v tapped them down befor and it's 50/50 if it leaves the dent or not, price on the respray 200 max as the corner would be blowin in and then just re-clear the whole bonnet :thumbsup:
 
Ouch... sorry Dan! :doh:

I had this happen to me on my mini years ago.... I got it it freshly painted and some monkey in the bodyshop never put the bonnet safety back on. Half way up the 21 bends at bout 50+ mph my bonnet decided to wrap itself round the windscreen! :shock2: While the 44 bus came barreling towards me... I'd be lying if i said I didn't poop myself a little! :icon_redface:

Hope you get it sorted soon! :thumbsup:
 
i was coming home from cork last night and hit a bump hard the bonnet opened up - i almost sh*t myself!
if it wasnt for the hydraulic bonnet arms it would of hit the windscreen but it stopped 1/2 way up.

i tell ya it was a scary moment!
 
I saw a damaged carbon bonnet repaired befor with little triangles of carbon the slipped on over the corners and just looked like another mod.
 
happened me before also
fookin minis i had one fly of before also :icon_grin:

Is it aluminium or steel?

Aluminium

I didnt think dent man type PDR guys would do this work
 
:doh: Aluminium is a bitch for stretching, so i think myself your probably looking at a skim of fillers and a paint blow in. Maybe if you get a real good guy that knows his stuff he might heat it a bit and get it back reasonably but it wont be mint without filler and paint.. sorry buddy :icon_cry:
 
they may not be able to but i would definitely call them before i went further

ill ask a panel beater mate of mine tomorrow what the best way to go is
i seen him work magic on a aluminum xjr door before so he will know if it will work or not :thumbsup:
