Pranged the Hood

[paintman]

Thought I better show the pic. of the damage to Hood coming back from Dave at Track Developments who was going to set up the suspension for better handling and breaking!!!!



The Audi A6 came off a lot better!!

[fletch_306]

Totally gutted for you! Hope that it isn't to costly is it just body panels or is it structural parts as well?

[Daley Down Under]

Hope its an ok fix Tony 

Cheers Adrian

Hopefully that's just the nose cone that needs replacing.

What! I reckon that nosecone would mend. I'd certainly have a pop at it.

[longtimecoming]

What a bummer mate, good luck with the repair.   

[Lucky Ed]

Ooops! what a bummer, hope it's a reasonably quick fix.

[Moleman]

Ouch. That is a bummer. 

[Gary RH7]

Not good and just having the paint job done guess your son going to busy again

Gbs Great British Sports Cars are quoting around £1500 quid for new Nose-Cone, S/S bonnet (it's bent up where the nose-cone came back and all the bits required to fit it without any spraying!!

And they need the car transported to them for fitting as well.

Think i'm in the wrong game at £45 an hour labour!

[Moleman]

The bonnet don't look that bad, Can it just be bent back? What is the price of a nose cone as I'm sure there is enough people on here that could help fit it.

I had to claim because of the damage to the Audi I hit, so might as well get everything new and the bonnet had loads of dings and marks on it which I felt let down the car.

I was thinking of getting the nose wrapped in carbon fibre vinyl rather than try and match the Holographic Metal-flake paintjob or get the nose Hydro Dipped in carbon film.

What do you lot think....anyone had there noses wrapped or dipped??

[Iancider]

A spot of Vick works for mine!

[Moleman]

Dipped would be cool. I would have got my arches dipped if I didn't do a lot of track days.

Bin in touch with a firm in Poole for a dipping quote and a place in Trowbridge who do wrapping but don't like the
idea of doing the wrapping in several pieces though, which they said they would need to do to keep the carbon pattern.

Somehow missed this one. What a bummer, hope you find a good solution Tony.
