Storm Damage!!!

[996tt_stevo]

As you know from previous posts there were a few guys travelling down to South France around June/July time (holidays, etc)

Well I left on Tuesday from Rosyth to Zeebrugge, and drove Wednesday all the way to Frejus (South France)

When approaching Dijon I noticed the Black clouds (I mean Black!!!) Yip! I have to say I went through one of the worst storms ever, the hail was not far of the size of golf balls and to cut a long story short I have 3 Large (10p size) dents/dings in my roof with about a further 6 small ones I checked out the rest of the car and this seems fine. It was really frightening, lightening flashing next to us, a couple of cars down ditches, trees falling, all traffic on Autoroute had stopped for about 15/20min as it was so bad!

Hope a good repair man can get these out!!!

Not a happy start to my Hols (vacation)

They'll polish out

Chipsaway might be able to help.

Wish they would Rich, so bloody annoying, prepin' the car and then this happens!

PDR (paintless dent removal) to a roof can be problematical as there is no easy access behind the panel. The interior roof lining will probably have to be removed which will obviously increase the £££

Think yourself lucky its not a BMW CSL with a carbon roof (I wonder if they would crack under those circumstances )

Shouldn't be a problem, Chipsaway (Dents Away) have operatives who follow the storms around in The US doing nothing but this type of repair.

Thanks guys for the info!

The only problem I can see is that 2 of the dents might be over a cross member/pillar underneath the roof!

But will confirm when I return home in a few weeks!

Thanks all

Has anyone got any pics or know what the roof looks like without the inner lining on?

just to know what i'm dealing with!!!
