Dude that sucks mega ass. From what i hear any damage to the roof is a write off. Ive seen many cars at auctions with this kind of damage because the insurance companies write them off straight away.
Hail = bad news
Mine is a series 2 but i couldnt see there being much difference
There are 2 bolts on either side of the chassis rails
Then there are 2 bolts under each wheel arch lip
i was suprised that this was all that was holding on my front bar
approx price update i was reading the recomended retail not wholesale
310.159 Pyrometer kit 52mm 12v 0-900c
approx $250
150.077.027 Pressure gauge mech 52mm psi
approx $60
The prices are approx because i have to check if VDO have had price updates since my last listing
you can get easy out kits for $5 from super cheap auto
But be very very carefull when drilling the hole for the easy out or you might end up costing your self a fortune like i did!! By drilling into the main oil gallery
