Love the car - so happy to keep it as long as its returned to the condition it was in prior to the hail.
Just hope any repairs aren't rushed due to the volume of cars that need to be repaired.

Think I got lucky with mine; was in the carport when the storms came through and didn't get a scratch (lucky too: it was only 2 days old at that stage too).
My folks Capri convertible didn't fare so well: roof ripped to shreds, in about 8 different pieces now. Not to mention the bonnet looking like it was at a golf range.

I dont know how it took them so long to schedule my assessment and repairs. I lodged my claim on the 26th and i have to wait till 29th of May. Where as my dad lodged his on the 27th Dec, he's going to get his car fixed in 3 weeks.
$4600... well at least it's repairable which is the main thing... i keep thinking how much worse it could have been.

Hey guys,
Thought id post up my experience aswell from the Christmas Hail
Ended up getting my year old Activ assessed in Geelong (Didnt want to wait) on the 11th of last month and was deemed to be repairable ..... quoted $10,000 to fix
Unbelieveable..!!
Had heaps of dents + what made it worse was that 4panels had actual paint come up/chipped away Bonnet, Boot, Roof and Pillars
Supposed to get new bonnet, Boot Lid and Roof Skin with FULL re-spray
Well thats whats on the aami quote rang the panel beater reakons car will
only get the metal parts re-sprayed does this seem right..??
Also x1 other little problem LOL
Had the front windscreen replaced with a aftermarket screen ( which i tried to push for genuine )
After they had left and gone i noticed that on the bottom right under the reg sticker there was a cut out
on the behind black backing of the glass to indicate VIN number But mine doesnt have it located there so it looks like a dodge car...
After cracking the shits with AAMi they are now replacing with genuine
The amount of crap you have to go through is ridiculous, feel sorry for people
with actual houses damaged..
Hopefully the car will be ready to pick next next friday fingers crossed
it comes out perfect..
And I Hope everyone else with damage gets theres fixed without fuss.
Below are a couple of pics i took the day after.
