Default Something Hit me

Picture this: I’m Driving down a nice B road, roof down enjoying the weather and minding my own business when a piece of $hite Ford KA coming the other way looses’ something from the back end. it bounces down the road straight into my bonnet and onto my Window, I have no idea what it was or where it went after it hit me but i do know that the guy in the car behind me heard the bang as it bounced off my car. Fortunately it didn’t smash the windscreen but i did scare the $hite out of me, even though i saw it coming i had no time to react,
Anyway here are a couple of pics of what it has done to my motor








On closer inspection it appears it was a plastic something as the crud just peeled away from the window, bonnet has a lovelt scratch on it though
Not really asking anything just wanted to vent a little

Shoulda followed him and flagged him over. His insurance would have been on the hook to repair it.

Damn that sucks. From the looks of the scratch, you can polish it out. Worst case is some wet sanding followed by polish and wax.
