So a bird hit my hood pretty hard...

ThreadAbort · Oct 5, 2015

There is a large ding also in it. Not just the scratch in the last picture

I ended up taking it to a local company that fixed my rims to brand new (since I seem to love curbs too)

It looks perfect now. Once it stops raining I'll put up a better picture.

What was the cost of this? I'm assuming from your last picture that they painted the entire hood?

LOL Sorry mate, a little Monty Python to hopefully lighten the mood.

IMHO painting is unnecessary. Aluminum hood means no corrosion. A little work from the underside and some touch up paint maybe to cover the scratch. Cost: $25 for touch up paint.

How's the bird?

Did the automatic emergency braking activate? :tongue:

Seems like the bird did not fare too well and sorry about your car

Glad to hear it is all fixed! Did they do anything to "fill" the scratch or was it a straightforward repaint job? What was the cost?

Aggravated suicide on the birds part is my guess. My commiserations!!

Based on the pics, look like the dent was pushed out from the underside of the panel. I still would have asked for a full bonnet paint, rather than a spot repair in this case.
