Anyone knows the name of this part circled in red? Stupid wooden stick fell off a speeding lorry, bounced off the road surface, ricochet against the guardrail in the middle of the road and whacked into that part (plus engine bonnet), leaving a deep dent on the circled part and a gash on the bonnet. From the sound of the thud, seems that the stick is of considerable weight.

I guess I can be considered lucky as the stick could have gone through the windscreen. Few things that were to my favor.
01. Managed to brake hard and swerved to the side so that the stick ended up bouncing to the side after impacting the car's bonnet.
02. Lorry was on the heavy vehicle lane while I was on the overtaking lane (saw that the wood stacked on it was kind of wobbly, hence I moved to the lane as far from the lorry's as possible to overtake). Was unfortunate that the wood fell off and bounced off in that manner. By that time, there was no way to avoid its trajectory
Bonnet based on the price list (don't know how updated is it) is RM445. And I'm guessing the circled area should not be more than RM200.
Anyone know if the parts are covered under warranty?
as i recall, most warranty only covers manufacturer's defect. damage done due to accident or wear and tear will not be covered.
