    Default Boot, Bonet, Roof

    Hi everyone.

    Sad news, My car was in a big hail storm today. and the bonet, roof, and boot need to be replaced by the looks. Any ideas on about how much each part would cost? The bonet and boot easy to fit, but, how does the top roof peice come off? i think maybe something under the 2 black strips on the top?? just guessing, any help would be great.

    Thanks. :-D

    Paintless is the way to go, you could even DIY using this method... Remove Car Dent With Airduster - Video

    Dunno how well it works, haven't tried it myself! But if they aren't to deep, might be worth a shot.
