Well, just finished breaking in my 99 2.8QM when I realised I should have been 'wearing a bra' (they are very rare in UK). I've picked up a stone chip that has put a nasty 1/4" dent in the bonnet, right above the grill where the bodywork curves. Is this repairable or will I need a whole new bonnet ?<p>Cheers<p>Simon<br>99 2.8QM Brilliant Blue :-(

I too got a nasty chip on the front bumper. I found an article on carcareonline.com on how to repair stone chips. <br>It is a very long process (about 12 coats of paint) I spent about 5 minutes an evening for about 10 days. I followed the article to a T and guess what the chip is about 98% gone!!! If you take your time and buy the correct materials you will be amazed. <br>Roy M 98.5q Tip

Have you tried the method on a very narrow to medium width scratch yet?<p>Orest

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it's not the paintwork that I'm most worried about. Whatever hit the bonnet must have been pretty heavy because it dented the metal along a crease about 1/4" long.<p>Simon
