I hope it's not a write off! Every panel apart from the doors has dents!

Just a heads up, car will be inspected by an engineer & possibly a write off. Do your insurers know about the modifications you have?

Write-off ? - if it's just "soft" dents, a good 'Dent Doctor' could fix it in a day or two - of course, if any body creases are damaged, that's more problematic ...

JDR with 50-60 dents it would not surprise me. I work in the UK insurance industry. I hope it can be repaired. Either way it will probably still be inspected by an Insurance Engineer.

A lot of similar reports coming in. Someone on piston heads has the same problem with a fairly new GTR & other people with 61 plate cars being written off.

I'd be gutted if I had the GTR

It's all a matter of Political perception - we see that it's bloody freezing and some are up to their arse in floods - the "Wise Ones Who Rule" know better, as it's really scorching and drought prevails ...

Would insurance cover the damage? Hail being an 'act of God' and all.

Feel for you mate and hope you can get the car sorted.

Act of god? don't make me laugh.

A fictitious extraterrestrial entity materialised from thin air and threw 50-60 3" ice balls at your car.

Don't think that carries much weight if I'm honest.
