Need to get this mended, anyone know a good body shop in the Bedfordshire area.
Don't really want the entire bonnet respayed if I can help it either.

They probably won't be the cheapest ....but....the paint shop at the Subaru garage in Oakley is very good.

Some prat drove into the back of my old Clio 172 (Wests Renault garage in Clapham use the Subaru garage for all their paintwork) while, yes you guessed it talking to someone on his mobile. It was only a few scratches on the rear near side but they did an excellent job and it didn't have to have the whole bumper resprayed.

You don't seem to have damaged the wing! does this mean you hit something like a garage door frame with the bonnet up?

Hum, didn't close the bonnet with a screwdriver or similar still there by any chance.

Nearly done this myself.
