Lude Generation

Long story but the the cf bonnet on the lude flew up and smashed to bits - so ive fitted my old phantom grey one albeit temporary fix as i need new bonnet hinges as both sides were broken.(if anyone has a spare set then let me know)
Worst bit is 3 larges dents to the front of the roof They right up to the edge of the windsreen so dont think I will be able to push them out for fear of breaking the windsreen glass which is intact and possibly the only bit of good news if you can call it that
There a couple of other bits of damage such a bonnet stay bit knacked and a wiper blade bent out of shape. Its the damage to roof that im looking at
Ok so the bonnet is fixable but i doubt the roof is.
Im a bit dispondent about this latest mishap as its a big step back after getting so near to finishing the revamp of the lude.
Ive taken a few pics but dont think they show the damage fully.
I guess i should have fitted aerocatches
Dent on roof (same shape as the vent on the cf bonnet)


Old PG bonnet fitted but needs new hinges and realigned.

thats really jobby mate, how did it happen? what happened to the bonnet pins for them to let the bonnet release?

Dent should push out. There is reinforcement near the screen so you wont break the screen. Start from the edges and work your way in. Finish with filler and a roof respray. Black?

Gutted for you mate I'm now going to look at getting aero catches for my carbon bonnet

Really crap luck, mate.

harsh mate it was coming along really well. i like rattys idea of repraying it black tho

I didn't think that would actually ever happen. How the ..?

distractions that how it happened but im to blame as i forgot to clip them shut - my dad came over to talk to me and @newkid phoned me and i was in ahurry to get back home and pick up the backbox gasket id left at home and needed to fit to the exhaust. good news tho i fitted the gasket - bad news the leak is worse than before
If id fitted aerocatches it would have clearly been visible that they were unlatched but ive been humming and haaaing about doing this for the last few months

and ive just burnt my drokking tea

You're only human mate these things happen. Plus I don't think the PG bonnet looks to bad at all!

I blame @newkid

but yeah glad i kept the pg bonnet as a spare
