GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

It's rare here to have such heavy hail. Although the same happened to my brother's BMW 6 series a few years ago. I'm already looking at prices of replacement bonnets.

Not worth at least getting a PDR quote? It's amazing what they can do and it saves having to paint the new bonnet.

Either I am blind (likely) or very lucky. I will have to give it a wash to be sure but could not spot anything

I will look at repairing it. I've still not assessed the whole damage yet. I hope the weather will give me a break so I can dry the whole area and see what I have to deal with.

I hope you don't have damage. Yesterday between the downpours I could see the dents. Today it's been raining quite a lot and it's nigh on impossible to see any indents.......but I know they are there!

Picked it up end of day seems alright.

Changed my mind, they washed it or should we say attacked it with a rag. You'd think it wouldn't be difficult to follow a simple instruction like 'please don't wash my car'
 
Found a good spot in town to park. Good to be early

I don't trust them as I had the same in the past so I leave don't wash signs inside the car and stuck to the windscreen
 
Must admit, all this talk of bad experiences with dealerships for services has made me glad I'm going to Fensport with my car (providing Toyota own oil) for my 20k service.
I'm beginning to think the 10yr warranty isn't worth the anxiety of sending the car to dealerships for those who really really care about their cars (+ paintwork!)
 
Spotted corrosion on brake calipers, so I decided that putting away painting them can wait no longer. Now if I could only find a place in Northamptonshire that will do it, with the calipers off :unsure:

Incidentally, can leaky brake fluid cause corrosion? I spotted a white residue near where the rust is, and on the opposite wheel the same white residue (but no rust there yet).
