More ammo for me to use bonnet pins then.... my bonnet wouldn't look like that though, probably beat the fuck out of everything....
Feel for ya mate, wouldn't like that to happen to me....

Unlucky mate.I've been lucky twice now, once left the bonnet on the catch on my m3 and took it out for a spin, only noticed when I came back. Second time was more scary when I was setting up an AVCR on my Evo 4, came back home after some setting up and saw the bonnet was just on the catch, had 140mph recorded on the AVCR with it like that, what a plonker, lucky though.

You're looking on about Ł100 repair job if only scuttle and bonnet damaged...
Break it for Ł100, you'll spend that on fuel in 4 weeks PMSL

Gutted to see that TBH.
I always worry about the bonnet on mine after seeing so many RST's with bonnets flying up at speed. I have replaced the catch, cable, and cable mech just to be on the safe side!
From what i can see of the pics you could prob get that repaired for around Ł200-Ł300 IMO

Exactly why I put pins on my bonnet..... After I put the bad-boy bonnet on there it caught the air even more and you could see it lifting at each side One time on the way home on the M11 it did pop the catch (but only the one you pop from in side the car) and fortuantely didn't get passed the second catch (that you lift from the font) To say I shit myself wouldn't be an understatement
So I decided to fit pins. Didn't want to as I thought it would spoil the lines but thought it was better than having it lift on me..... After a while I grew to like em anyway

i been driving a pug derv the last few months to work and back and the bonnet latch is busted and everytime i take the car above 60mph you can see the bonnet lifting so i only stick to 60mph max now

sorry mate but
it does look gay, bonnet pins are as gay as a bad boy bonnet and bumper cutout unless its for proper cooling reasons, not the i wanna look like him effect
not gonna start on the single wiper or the harnesses
only cause you guys pay my wages
i cant see the back but im sure there clear rears too
