"Stone Chip"? NO!!! it's a frigging "Rock Dent" - advice needed.
So I was driving to work, and a lorry coming the other way kicked up what I can only describe as a rock. I've only had "The Mistress" for 2 months, and am gutted by this, and want to know the best course of action. Am thinking these dent removal places would be no good since the paint is damaged?
Thanks,
m

Wow that's brutal, I don't think a dent magician or smart repairer could make that 100% correct, I could be wrong through.

no expert but think the best way would be to source a new bonnet but a decent body shop should be able to fill it and paint?

The same thing happened to my GTR 3 days after I got it
Got mine filled and painted by a smart repairer (not a franchise one, one that has bodyshop experience). Not perfect but pretty good for £25.
