Dented my ED30
« on: 20 December 2007, 12:03 »
can anyone recommend a decent bodyshop in the Manchester/Northwest area, something flicked up and hit my car on the motorway last night. Not sure what it was thought it was a lump of ice at first, but looking at the damage its done I think it was something more solid. Its left two sharp dents just above the righthand front wheel arch and scratched it down to the primer. Not a happy teddy :cry:

Im down south so cant help. Had a scracth and dent on my car over the summer. Just to let you know its not cheap to get these things removed.

I was set back just under 200 notes to get this removed. Wouldnt have been more had it not been cash ;)

I was driving along the A14 couple of nights ago to Heathrow Airport and EXACTLY the same thing happenned to me.  I heard a LOUD bang like someone had thrown a large stone on my car but there were no vehicles in front of me or a bridge that someone could have thrown something off.  I briefly checked my windscreen when I got to Heathrow but didn't noticed anything as I was in a hurry to get to the plane. Will give it a thorough inspection when I get back to the UK  :sad:  I'm having nightmares now after seeing that photo of the damaged silver wing above.

Ahh don't get too scared, that was done by a cvnt reversing out of a car park space next to me, and then hitting me and then driving off leavening me to find than when I returned to the car.
