A kangaroo wanted to see what its like to to bounce into a 996TT on an early morning drive this morning with friends. Yes this is me in my car.

You tube clip.

The roo then decided to compare cars and this was the effect of the same roo hitting the car behind me after bouncing off my car. He was very lucky it didnt go through his windscreen.

This car is only a few weeks old.

exactly, pretty sure the small dent can be removed by paint less dent removal. I have reposted as I dont think the 1st link was working. I had to edit the video just after the incident as my vocabulary wasn't very pleasant.

My friend in his brand new Cayman GTS in front was unaware what just happened.

I am going to purchase a roo whistle which only roos can hear for up to 2 miles.

I cleaned it up, I had about 12 months of car detailing experience about 15 years ago.

Only a small dent which can easily be fixed by dent fix guy.

can that be popped w paintless dent removal?! i've only ever been able to get door/hood dings out with that method. hopefully that'll be all you need, as any body shop work is costly. i had *very* light damage and i recall about a grand to repair the deer rollover. gl and nice cleanup so far!

This damage was on the same side which happened when I drove over a short tree branch and flung up onto that side. This only happened just last year.




And this is after the paint less repair, took him about 10min and you could not tell there was any damage prior.

incredible. i have a very small nick from last years encounter with a boulder at the side skirt where it meets the rubber piece underneath ( which i replaced as it was shredded ) and am amazed the painless paintless guy cant get at it. body shops are quoting me absurdly ridiculous figures of 600+ and i'm not about to use my insurance co for it. you got lucky!!

Depending where the damage is and there is no paint damage most times it can be manipulated out.
About $100 if its a fairly quick job. I have even paid 50 if l drove to him.
