mini falls victim to an unscrupiolous person
Just when you know you're life is falling into places... this happens! i hope karma comes around to this person.





can this be PDR? I hope so, there is no paint chip since I have a 3M bonnet protector.

No it can't be fixed with PDR. It's too close/on the hard edge.

That is easily fixable by a body shop.

Sorry to see that. Damn people. And RichardSperry is correct, PDR can't fix it, too close to edge.

I am sorry this happened to your mini. I hope the person who did this gets a cold sore everyday for a month.

Real bummer :(

Seems backing pickup trucks are worst offenders.....

Maybe you could turn this around. When having the body work done, they could perform a front badge delete or something.

If you guys weren't melting so many bonnet scoops I'd also suggest having the scoop molded into the bonnet permanently.

Thanks.. I will recommend getting a badge delete when the auto body fixes it.
Scoop on the other hand, I dont have a problem(yet).

looks like someone sat or leaned on it. I would take it to a pdr place to see if they can do it. I have a guy around me who does great work been doin it for 15yrs. You never know unless you take it there.

so far, I sent the pictures to PDR guys and they cannot do it and recommended the body shop route.

The turbo melted your hood too? Bummer man!

Seriously though, I'm sorry this happened. Hope it gets fixed quickly and affordably.
