That's bad luck. I've only had our new MG5 for 1 week and I'm sure something is going to happen. We were stopped at a local traffic light yesterday and something fell from a tree onto the roof - sounded like a gun going off - but haven't found any evidence of a mark. I need to keep telling myself - it's just a tool!

Really unlucky there !.
I had a similar incident a few years back.
Travelling along a dual carriageway, then a massive “Bang” as something hit the car !.
When I got home, there was a dent in the N/S/F wing that looked like a golf ball had hit the car.
I think something had pinged from somebody else’s tyre on the opposite side of the carriageway at high speed and hit our car.
Wrong place, wrong time !.

I think the problem is for all of us that unless you can physically just throw money away we have all worked hard for the cash to buy our cars and this type of situation is very upsetting, it would really pi** me off too. Feel gutted for you.

Back in the 80s, I was once travelling along a newly resurfaced road (loose chippings) at the stipulated 20mph when some t**t coming the other way decided 40 mph was better, bang and a shattered windscreen. Toughened glass in those days rather than laminated.

Exactly this!

Sorry to see your new car get damaged.... I guess that’s why we have insurance! It will be fixed in no time!

I had a hit and run with my MG5 EV (new in Jan) with under 400m on the clock when my car was parked. It was then undriveable with the passenger wing ripped off and the steering trashed. Fortunately the excess was only £250 with no loss of NCB and the car is now as new.
