Wow!

If the paint isn't scratched up or creased, the dent remover that's used by JapLink Haberfield might be able to get that out. Just call in with the car and then book it in if the prognosis is good.

Terry can you please PM me the Japlink details

[usmair]

dont think dent removal will cut it

[Hadouken]

Wont that mean that the car is a write off then?

How the hell did it happen? Aftermarket bonnet?

[GTR-N1]

JapLink's number is 9716.0857

Their dent remover is Hau (who was going to retire). He has done work for many dealers - that others just shake their heads.

Hope yours is going to be OK without roof-support-damage.

Saw this yesterday at a dealership in Sydney waiting to get fixed.

Hope your mate gets it back shortly with the new roof 100%.

Cheers.

I had this happen to my car the bonnet flew up and around 180km it scary the shit out of me because i didnt know whats was happening. I had to get a new roof skin put on they cut it on each pillar and straightened the supports and reglued then painted. cost $1200 to fix. In perth tho

Most cases I'm aware of is that the bonnet is not latched down properly. Meaning only the first catch.

Generally happens after working in the engine bay and then just latching the once.

After market bonnets more likely.

Does your mate work at TSI? I think I saw that car at TSI last week or so. I was wondering how on earth did that GTR get dents on its roof.

doesnt work there but we are very close with him so had the car there for a few days
