What did you do to your MINI today?

Update on my hail damage. After almost a month of arguing with the claims guy who wanted to "total" my Mini (so that he could sell it), he finally agreed to delete my claim. The hail damage remains, but I get to keep the car.

I bet there are YouTube videos that could teach you how to fix the damage. On the other hand, perhaps golfball-like pockmarks actually improve your SE's aerodynamics (searching for the positive).

Years ago, I went to a huge Indianapolis-area gathering of gen-1 Honda Insights and saw one where hail had shattered both front fenders. I never realized they were made of plastic before that.

I don’t know how bad is hail damage and color of a roof and is not easy to fix roof will be expensive did you ever think do yourself project sending a dents and fill with bondo make a smooth service and use carbon fiber self adhesive vinyl wrap roof 5D black as is so many colors to choose .I Complitly agree with you keep a car I will do the same as we love our Minis knowing what we own .I do those vinyls myself and is easy as roof on mini will be quite simple you can ask professional shop too .My hood wrap straps looks excellent after 4 1/2 years .I will try first without fixing hail dings like 12x12” bc I think heavy vinyl as you applay with flat tool shouldn’t sink into a dent.

Rexsio: There are more dents than I can count. Fortunately, only one seems to have broken the paint. The body shop I got my estimate from thought some of the dents would require a panel replacement. I'm willing to live with the dents. I was most concerned with my insurance company's path was that there are very few SEs on the market now to replace mine.
