Just gone in the back of someone at 3mph. Front Grill has taken the damage however now the bonnet doesn't shut too seemelessly. It catches perfectly on the catch and shuts firmly but sticks up slightly.

Anyone ever been in this situation? Is my Bonnet bent? Could abit of man strength sort his out?

Abit hard to tell in the dark :(

Thanks

at 3mph? I'm surprised there was any damage at all...

Get some photos up in the morning.

Aye i was behind then guy pulling out at a roundabout, he hesitated when i thought he had gone. I think the bars which come down and hold the grill have bent. It just seems quite strange when the locking mechanisms fits aswell as always yet the edges of the bonnet are an inch higher than normal.

thanks for responding guys <3

makes a bit more sense if you were accelerating then.

As said get some pictures up.

when i did that, the bonnet kinked about half way up, hopefully this hasn't happened in your case

Looking today in the light the bonnet hasn't kinked thankfull, however i think the front lip has been pushed in slightly where it catches onto the locking mechanism.

I think it could be bent back in shape grill replaced. I'll sort some pics out.
