Is it possible to replace the roof panel? Most of the damage has popped out but its still pretty uneven

I would of thought its possible but would cost an absolute fortune, your best bet is to probably go to a body repair place and get them to give you a quote on how much it would cost to fix

Yeah i thought so unfortunately, wasnt sure if it was just a matter of cutting it out and welding a new one in or if there was more to it i hate people!
Not sure it can be fixed either, the metal is pretty distorted now

Yes, you can buy new roof skins. Just a matter of getting it fitted and painted which will cost the fortune.

Not good. Someone did that to mine. I took the lining down and beat it out as much as I could. You will never do it properly without taking it down. I still have a crease or two. Unless you wanted to filler it all.

I've just been talking to a guy and his wives car was trashed in Manchester over the weekend. Apparently there were a couple of scroates who are being sent down today decided to go on a wrecking spree. Cars were set on fire, jumped over and generally destroyed. About 100 cars in total had damage.

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure that dents on the roof can quite often be a write off :/

i have a couple of guys walking past my house (sale moor) on cctv, they look like knobs as they are walking down the middle of the road with a shopping trolley at 2.30am, its just a shame my car is parked round the side out of view
