That's bad luck.

I had similar damage to mine.  I suspected that the bonnet curve was just accentuated, but on repair I notice that the grille does not meet the bonnet at the top nicely so I think they had to bend the replacement to get it to fit the rest.

Yours sounds a bit more severe so they will probably have to do it properly but examine it carefully on return.

As for courtesy car, I was offered a Corsa, but had the option of anything off the forecourt as it was a Vauxhall garage.  :y


I think I was fairly lucky, they provided me with a Zafira 1.9 CDTI SRI in siver with tints alloys etc, looks rather cool cept for the tractor noise lol, also it is kinda shabbily put together. brittle plastics et al but so much better than a Ka eeuughh

A person needs only three tools: WD-40, duct tape and a hammer. If it doesn't move and it should, use the WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn't, use the duct tape. If either doesn't work use the hammer

I don't think they will be able to panel beat the bonnet so i anticipate a new one plus front bumper, but who knows, and I certailnly won't sign to accept till I am happy,

I wish one of our Omega Lords could oversee the job then I could trust the outcome  ;)
