Bigkeels Throbbing Member Donating Members 594 Member For: 16y 3m 25d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 03/05/11 07:41 AM Share Posted 03/05/11 07:41 AM Driving home from work this arvo I copped a few rocks/boulders from the back of a passing truck across my bonnet and into the windscreen. Resulting in a massive dint in the bonnet, scratches back to bare metal and about 5 chips in the windscreen (don't know how it didn't smash it hit that hard)Just wanted to know what you reckon the best option would be? The cars silhouette in colour and this is the only blemish on it so you could understand how pissed off I am atm lol. Has anyone had a bonnet fixed and resprayed recently or you reckon it would be easier to just find a bonnet in silhouette and put that on? Maybe even a xr8 bonnet, the paint should match perfect shouldn't it considering the cars basically still new. Oh its a BFII. :censored: :censored: :censored: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74638-bonnets/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never follow trucks they always drop stuff and flick things up from the road.

I'm looking into putting an xr8 bonnet on mine at the moment Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74638-bonnets/#findComment-1102569 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got one for $550.00. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74638-bonnets/#findComment-1102648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could sell it but you would have to wait until I organise a new bonnet for the car Edited 04/05/11 09:22 AM by RHR No need to quote above post.

Gonna just touch mine up so it doesn't rust. And if one comes up at ftg or yours I'll buy it.What about insurance? There would be nothing I could do? Even if I had there plates?
