Some useless Hobartion decided last night it would be funny to jam his elbow ( or something similar ) into the front right corner of my bonnet leaving a sizable dent.

Don't believe Somerset on the Pier if they tell you they have secure parking!!! ( Allocated area on the pier is all in a high pedestrian traffic area. Cringed when I saw it but it was to late )

I am hoping that Stuart from Dent Craft will be able to get it straight but one of the ribs on the back side runs right behind it so I have my doubts. Either way the paint is cracked so I will need to get the bonnet re-sprayed. Not F&*KEN happy.

Who can colour match black properly? I believe black is a real bastard to work with so want the best not "Oh my mate can do it" with no record of results.

If straightening the bonnet is no good anyone know how much a replacement for a Pig STi runs at.

Lastly are there any options for "Flush mounting & legal" safety locks that might be able to be fitted right where the dent is ( about 1 - 2 inches from the front corner straight towards the center of the scoop )

Will post a pic next weekend when I get back to a broadband connection.

Wouldn't have found them anyway but didn't find it till I fueled up at Strahan 300km away. It bloody well wasn't there the night before when I checked the oil and I didn't hit anything on the way over.

Try not to be violent but would certainly replicate the size dent in their head if I saw them doing it. I think they would regret it more than the car!!!

BBK perhaps, have never used him, but many reckon Benson does wonders.

Although Stuart's good....bonnets are a real prick to fix cause of the spines running through them...my guess is a newy + respray unfortunately.

I swear by B&B Smash repairs down in Naval Base - Mark....pretty sure they're still there. He did some work on my old 99 WRC blue Rex when I had it and it was flawless with perfect colour matching & blending.

I'm hoping he can go in through either the hole for the bonnet support or the one towards the center. There is a fair bit of room behind the ribbing. Question is, is it enough?
