Oh Great.........
« on: January 20, 2011, 08:29:24 am »
Driving to work on the M62, some 'object/projectile' has hit my car on the bonnet, and front lower grille  :fighting: .  The grille isnt too bad, slightly damaged but the hood has 3 dints, one quite deep, but all very close together.  (Paint is broken too) 

No idea what it was, ......just heared 2 bangs whilst cruising into work at about 65.   So thats either gonna be be another dent man job and paint (poss touch up) .......... and thats if he can do it .

 Feck !!!!!

Blimey Greeners, sounds like a lot of damage there.

I will get a pic up later on if I remember.

Gutted for you mate. I still cringe when I hear stone chips/grit etc hitting the car.
