New DD purchased 3 weeks ago... 1300 miles on the odometer... Today I found 7 hail dents in the hood, 2 in the trunk.

The funny thing is, it hasn't hailed here in months.

I seriously am at a loss here. Did someone vandalize my car, carefully making hail-like dings with zero paint damage?

Did I, someone who can spot bondo and dings half a mile away, somehow manage to miss this obvious-as-hell ding on the trunk and one on the hood, that I can actually SEE WHILE I AM DRIVING, before I bought the car?

I really don't see how I could have missed them. I noticed a pretty decent ding as soon as I opened the trunk this evening.

Once I saw the one on the trunk, I found the one on the hood. I looked the car over carefully and found about 6 more at various points around the hood, and one more on the trunk, which are very small and which I possibly could have missed, but not the original one I found on the hood or the original one on the trunk it's SO obvious.

There are none on the roof/doors/etc (which are steel rather than aluminum)

None of this makes any ******* sense whatsoever.

REALLY don't have time to drop the car off to get it fixed and all that, either.

OK back to your happy thoughts now.

Yeah I will get it PDR'ed for sure, but probably pay out-of-pocket. I'm hoping it wouldn't be much more than the deductible, so hopefully don't need to file a claim.

Mainly just the 2 dings in the trunk and one main one in the hood need to be done but hopefully everything could be done for ~$800.

I just totaled two cars with them about this time last year, I don't want to push my luck with the insurance company.

The funny thing is, it hasn't hailed here in months.

But, the first ding I saw in the trunk is SO ******* obvious, there is no way it was there before today.

It's not so much that I have to get a brand new car PDR'ed it's that I have no idea why or how. Like, it pretty much had to be that way when I bought it, or someone vandalized it. I'm not sure how you vandalize a car to look like hail dents and ding a car without scratching it so I'm guessing it was that way when I bought it, but how the hell can that be, I can't unsee this ding on the trunk, I look at the ******* trunk like 4 times every time I drive the car every day for the last two days GOD DAMN I AM SO ******* PISSED RIGHT NOW.

OK back to your happy thoughts now.
if it's shallow it's an easy fix for a PDR tech. do you park under a tree? ive heard of squirrels dropping stuff on the car and it dents the panels. its pretty crazy.

my GTI's got road wounds too already. tiny dent on the quarter arch line. cant PDR and being a black car i can see it from a faking mile away. i ended up spot bondoing it, wet sanded, and applied a matte black bandaid decal over it as my car is a comical shape to begin with. did the same on the other side to make it look like i meant to do it.

i was faking pissed too, but den looked at my dent/chip-free STI and 370Z and thought... dis is wat dd's are all about.

but on my ride, the whole faking side needs to be painted so i didnt feel like going through dat just yet. might get it fixed down the road, not sure. it's a dd, i dont care.
