Bonnet (Hood) repair...
OK, whinged about it happening on the Boxster forum but thought I'd post this question to a wider audience as I brace myself for the cost of repair.
Had a large stone, or similar, hit the bonnet of the car at speed (85/90mph) which has left 2 thumb sized dents and a couple of gouges, approx 1/4-1/2" long in the metal itself.
Given the bonnet is aluminium, and the challenges repairing it presents, what do you guys think - new bonnet, or some great repair? Probably involve a full bonnet spray no doubt.
For warranty reasons taking it to an approved Porsche workshop so the necessary skills should be there....
