Problem is though if they will only replace panels then it gets expensive!

Syx · 30th June 2012, 21:52

As they're fairly localised and no obvious paint damage I'd have thought they could be pulled?

doogle · 30th June 2012, 21:55

Hope so!

Gutted for you mate.

Hopefully your motor won't get wrote off, most insurance companies want to repair rather than replace.

The bonnet will prob get replaced along with your roof because they are too hard to repair.

A roof costs about £400 and takes 8 hours in labour time.

Hope you get a good result bud.

Just routine mate or a problem?. Ive had a new clutch, new droplink, and waiting on a new top mount to come in and its only done 21000 miles. Battery has lost charge twice through having the radio on for 20mins so looks like thats going to be next. Love the car though, but dont want to be going back and fourth all the time. You taking it to Honda(Cov)?

Have you not read this thread? My car was caught in the hail storm on Thursday and has dents on every panel may be a write off!!!

handyman · 1st July 2012, 15:18

Half asleep and enjoying the chat, and my hairbrain brain not up to speed.!! Really sorry mate. Gutted!!, hope you can get things sorted, you must well fed up. Will have fingers crossed for you for a positive outcome. Once again apologies for my stupid ignorance moaning about my CTR, cause it was staring at yours that made me take the plunge and get one.
Kindest regards
