Bloody hail!!!!!

[mr302xd]

Well if u were in west or north of sydney this arvo, u would have got the huge massive hail storm!! With hail bigger than ur fist!!

Unfortunatly, my xr8 was stuck in a carpark outside while i was at work!! There are a fair bit of dints in it now. As i was trying to sell it wont help the cause.

All the dints are on the bonnet, boot and a couple on the roof. I should count myself lucky!! Cars around me had windows smashed!!

I might get my self a BA XR8 bonnet now :P

Anyone else get any damage??

Anyone got any ideas how much it costs to get dints outa the roof?

Cheers

Poor bugger

[Eu-GenixX]

is it insured?.. the excess might be less then any repair costs....

[Pup_87]

If you can't afford to insure it you shouldn't be on the road. Wake up to your self before you have an accident that you'll be paying for for the next 20 years

I insured my ute including all the mods when I was 19 for under $2k full comp in my name. If you cant afford the insurance you cant afford the car.

I'm only 19 and i got quotes for a BA XR6T, it was only $1800.. cheaper than paying for a new bonnet, boot and roof + respray.

He has insurance - 3rd party property, so if he is at fault, at least his insurance pays for the other car. This type of insurance should be mandatory. Whether you decide to insure your own car for damage is up to the individual, and will largely depend on the premium. At $5000 per year, you'd need a pretty serious accident not to be in front just paying the 3rd party premium (~$300 per year max) and fixing your own damage yourself.

Now, if he had NO insurance, then I would echo your sentiments, but at least he has the right type of insurance to protect himself in an "at fault" accident.

ahh dude.. that sucks... i really feel for you.... :(

better then having insurance and not getting your car fixed....i was told hail doesn't chip paint.. yet i had paint chips all over my bonnet and roof and even the windscreen... they weren't there before the storm.. but were there after it... go figure...

hope for your sake it's not too expensive... i hope you atleast have some insurance...:S i wouldn't wanna be driving something like that aruond with no cover at all... :S

[HLC]

i got caught in it too.

most of the damage on the roof. then the bonnet. im out west sydney, erskine park.

im comprehensively insured. 20 yrs old. thinking about going the insurance path and praying for a stat write off. then my v8 dreams can come alive with the help of lpg hahaha

[mr302xd]

yea i thought the sunroof could go too! lol

[HLC]

i think blacktown was the worst hit. some friends of mine had windscreens smashed etc, not to mention the damage to their houses!

[WoodysXR6]

Attitudes like that force up premiums for the rest of the honest folk here.

give Ausdent a call, depending on how bad the damage is they suck the dents out with pressure worth a go

There is none in syd, or nsw for that matter.

HLC can your car be declaired a stat write off if it is already recorded as a stat write off?

[mr302xd]

Hey, anyone got any idea how much those BA/ BF XR8 bonnets are? The ones that suit the AU of course.

Wifes parent's agistment place was hit hard in Eastern Creek ... all the roofs on the stables are damaged ... holed everywhere.

Father-in-Law's BFII work ute has massive dents in the roof and bonnet. Windscreen abd headlights are destroyed. Even ripped a couple of holes in his tonneau cover over the trayback.

People that were at the place at the time had their cars damaged too.

Wife's old Mirage that her Mum drive's now is damaged ... the hits to the front guards popped the indicators out from the guards ... :hihi:

Everything is insured though ... thankfully.

We put all of our vehicles away out my way (past Windsor) as we saw and heard the storm build over our place ... but it kept going and nothing dropped here.

The dent puller guys can do a fantastic job for a reasonable price. I've seen a Canberra company do a great job on an F6.
