I'm sure motormech had a silver bonnet last time I went there.
Might be the best option as not much you can do with that one.

Looked at the Ad johnny but it looks like it sold........Do you think that ones had it then?
Just been for a second look and the 'twist' in bonnet line is very marginal. I'm just looking at ground level head-on along the bonnet centre to grille centre - its slightly down on the impact side but only slight. Probably impossible to pull but surely it could be filled?

They had a silver one a few weeks ago in the doorway but maybe bonnet is gone. I wouldn't repair that,unless you can pul the dent out with a weld slide enough to include the bare minimum filler. Any more then 1mm thick and it will crack due to the resonance of such a big area. Replacement would be alot cheaper if you can source the same colour.

Actually Johnny just looked at some photos from shows in the past and the 'twist' in bonnet line seems to have always been there. Its only slight but I'm a bit of a perfectionist with my cars - which is why I'm so gutted..... Works security cameras have proved it did not happen here so its definately been hit outside my house yesterday - Where the hit is and where my neighbour is opposite line up perfectly with them reversing off their drive into the Coupe. I've seen his wife struggle before coming on and off the drive with other cars in the road. Her cars Silver! Will be knocking their door tonight!

If I were you I would measure accurately the height of your car where the damage is on that road and do the same with there's.
Odds on he/she prob Didnt know they had done it. There's no deposits on yours suggesting it was done at an angle and by plastic such as a bumper. Gutted for you fella,its heartbreaking seeing someone damage your pride and joy.

I feel for you.. and now you have the expense and hassle of putting your pride and joy back in order I've seen it happen 2 or 3 times over the past twelve months. Last time was in a busy car park - but I swear the old fella didn't even know he'd nudged the car behind, he drove off completely oblivious!

Quizzed the neighbour last night - His wifes car did have a mark in the back but he stated it was already there and TBH it could not have been the cause. Her Fiesta has a pretty much vertical sided bumper - If it had hit the Coupe it would have caught the bumper which is proud of the bonnet. Whatever hit it must have been taller with a more pronouced front end. I'm resigned to having to sort it all out myself and I'm not going the insurance route due to the excess and impact of claiming. My only slight consolation is I've been considering getting the stone ships on the bonnet sorted for a little while now and the wife slightly scuffed the bumper a couple of years ago which I always noticed so will be looking into getting the whole nose of the car sorted. I had the lips done not long ago so the car will look factory fresh hopefully.....
Just off to look for any overtime going at work........

Cheers - that was more down to me having a terrific employer who makes me work Nights and weekends and going on Hol. The lights are standard LE - the last shot in the sun does make them look more Silver than the OE LE graphite but they are....
