No way I cant believe it!! I know exactly how you feel, last weekend someone smashed my rear window.

Jealousy thats all it is !!!!!!!!!!!!

[dicka 180]

Got car cosmetics coming out to have a look see if it can be pushed back out but i think may be a new bonnet needed.

[Headers]

Sorry to hear about you bonnet getting stoved mate, Maybe its time for some new vents for a direct air feed ...................food for thought !!

[dicka 180]

Not had the car long it still has a warranty from the garage so i have to leave the car standard.

[sduk]

really sorry to hear that, mindless vandalisms like that are really so common its such a shame and cause of annoyance for people. hope you get it sorted mate, least the warranty will cover it will it?

[dicka 180]

Warranty only covers mechanical failure bodywork not covered see how much it will cost may pay for it my self rather than put a claim in and loose my no claims.

[sduk]

ahh well, hopefully wont be too much and then you'll keep your NCB. as above, you should get them to put a bonnet vent in during repair ;)

Pain in the arse can do without it.......

[stamford]

Sorry to hear that, been the victim myself and it leaves a nasty taste in your mouth.

Got a quote today to repair the zs new bonnet fitted and painted £835 a bit high i think the bonnet alone was £290 going to get more quotes

[stamford]

That did seem high then I remembered some years ago when I had a bonnet replaced on a Vauxhall Carlton 2.2 CDi I had and that was £650!

Still shop around though, if you can.

This my sound like silly question but are the mk1 and mk2 bonnets the same or is there a slight difference.

Only the grill is different, unless I am told otherwise :unsure:

[Maxfly]

same happened to my zr not too long ago, proper job bonnet from dealer was £250 + vat i think, ended up gettin a pattern one from overtons for £104 all in and got it sprayed for £120 cash in hand. Not too bad a fit though i still need to adjust the bonnet catch to bring it down a bit:construction:

[Boot Hill Bandit]

If it was me I would buy a very tidy 2nd hand one and have that resprayed......try and get a bonnet of the same colour though. For example......spraying a Trophy Yellow bonnet in red or blue will mean that if the spray job is a general blow over the shade of your finished colour may look slightly different on the car.

Give EMS a ring dude as they deal in body panels.......01634 388999. Ralph should be there.....if not speak to Simon they may be able to help. Don't forget to mention forum discount as well and Ralph may be able to knock a little off.
