Long story but car was damaged in shipment from Fl back to NY. Top tier, well known carrier. Appears my car was on lower deck and upper deck was either not positioned or secured properly and the rusty metal deck ground against my beautiful pristine hood for 1200 or so miles. Going to accept nothing less than a new hood, would love to have it factory finished in correct color but that may not be an option.

Have a great local Bentley certified repair shop which will inspect the car this week, but want to get out in front of sourcing a new replacement hood.

 

Mods, can you please add the word “Hood” to the end of title of this thread - Sorry

 

Done.
