    Aww crap man... thats sucks. I had a falling branch hit me last year...
    "Yeah I'd like to make claim"
    "Who hit you"
    "Oh no-one was a freak tree!"

    Well if any good comes of this... it will be "A guide to bonnet removal & repair" on Complete FTO :)

    Branches hanging over car. Wind forced them onto car and back and forth across duco. Im hoping most will polish out (gets down on hands and knees and starts praying........).

      Sell it to a wrecker and buy a CF bonnet? :)

      Maybe hit it with a buffer if you've got one.

      Man thats pain :cry: I'm one of those that scream at anyone who run their finger on my car when its got a bit of dust. And if this happen to my FTO, i would probably have a heart attack...... :?

      So far my car haven't got one scratch since changing colour. *touch wood*

      Update

      Post by dstocks »

      Well,

      Dont think I have much clear coat left, but seem to have got out most of the scratches. Can still see a couple of the deeper ones if you look at the bonnet at certain angles, but other than that, seems to be OK.

      Seem to have come out of this better than expected (Lucky).

        Yeah, problem is, I have been trying to keep as much heat of my new interior finish as possible. I guess in trying to protect one thing, I inadvertently damage another.

          Is hard to see if there are any dents, I hate dents and scratches but scratch I can get out easier than dents, man if that was me, I would be screeming, I end up screeming if someone puts there door in the side of my car when it is parked.
