Tile fell off the house roof this morning and hit the car. :cry:

Luckily it missed the T-tops and hit the actual roof part. Left two 10mm gouges in the roof. I guess I'll have to get the whole strip resprayed.

Gutted :sick:

Sorry to hear, that is a very unexpected thing to happen :thumbdown:

I guess the only comfort is as you say, that it hit the body work instead of the t top glass. Hopefully you can find a good body man nearby to iron out the dent and do a good blend job on the paint. Let us know how you get on with it...

I remember in the 80's my brother had a mk1 Capri , full metal flake paint job which cost a small fortune back then and a big eagle on the bonnet, he parked it in a friends old garage while he went abroad and the entire garage collapsed on it (comp,etc with pitched tiled roof)

I did think about house insurance but I don't think it will cost too much to sort so don't think it's worth the hassle. It's not dented it just deeper and wider than what I would call scratched, its gouged into the metal. Guess a bit of filler and respray will do the job.

Just waiting to hear from a local sprayer I had do some work on the last Camaro.

I've started parking the car away from the house now. :roll: :lol:

Should be up for the Stars and Stripes, have to remember to enter this year :roll:

Haven't sorted the roof yet as it's not a big scratch but will have to deal with it at some point.
