Default Bonnet flew up

My mates just phoned me and said his bonnet has just flew up on his S2 cab

Fooked the bonnet, window, scuttle panel

What other damage will it have done, i know the hinges will prolly be bent but will it have damaged the inner wings, etc...

Hes had the car less than 24 hours but the guy that sold him it told him the catch was dodgy after he fitted the pro alloy cooler, so no come back

Could it have bent the frame round the front window since its a cab

When it smacks the roof/top of the windscreen it normally dents it, hardest part to repair. Fit pins, wouldn't have one without them.

No panic just trying to see if there was any other thing we should look for
