Guys..last night back to KL from Ipoh and during the trip, there's a stone being fly up and hit my car engine hood and last and the windscreen...

Now windscreen has that tiny mark at there aldy... While engine hood sustain damages from medium deep scratch and also a tiny dent on it.. Is it possible go seek help from toyota SC? Thanks..

I also got a few tiny chip off infront. Save the $$ and do overall touch up later.
Sad to see the damage.

Any photo of the damaged??

1) Perhaps go to SC, assess and quote the repair/ replacement cost..If you can afford, just repair and replace using own $..

2) Otherwise, save yr $$ and live with it, who want to notice tiny marks?? or if got major replacement in future, fix it all 2gether. Either thru NCD, 3rd party or other.

Homay! i paid it rm1700 with etiqa insurance (windscreen i put 1k only) + rm90 for roadtax *lol
From what i read current Vios windscreen cost only rm1.2k


Actually for a new car the petrol injector cleaner is not necessary. and balancing n alignment you can do outside, however glad that you did it in SC since they can kept the record of your car services My 20k service will be this january. now it only clock 18000km+-

At SC now, they quote me rm406 for the hood repair, respray, cement and etc.. For the engine hood. Should I go for it? Theres a tiny dent and scratch quitr deep, can see another coating layer aldy.. Shit..

Buy touch up paint for RM20++, clear coat RM10++ then touch up yourselves can already. End result all depend on how good your hand and the precision of the brush tip, if everything is good it will barely noticeable from 1m distance.

This. Applying more clear coats won't be a problem also. Can always use compound polish to smoothen out the surface. It is pretty minor to prepair for RM400.
Heck, I think some detailing centers will do a good job for a lower price.

I wish I could do it myself also.. But as per what dreamer mention, its all depend how fine and precision of your hand to manage on the scratch, but still I am not confident, afraid if I do it myself, it will getting more worse..

Thats the thing, 400 for that minor repair, but it got dent aldy, means the thing hit quite strong on the hood..

This happened when I followed a wira with staggered size tyre on the highway from Ipoh back to KL, and at that time, our speed only 80 to 90km/h only.. Suddenly a stone hit on my windscreen quite loud, so I make a stop at rnr to check on the windscreen, heck, a tiny scratch. So I leave it first. And when back to KL, just realize the hood got scratch already, tiny dent some more..

Lesson learned, never follow behind a car that use staggered size tyre, which that exceed the fender width aldy.. Haiz...

ive got like 10 mini holes in my windscreen from stones, after a week u just forget its there

My advice to you is..give it a try since it bother you. The paint doesn't get wasted. I bought mine after I got my car for a month and get the first stone chip, now my car already close to 3 years.

Tips for you: Prepare a wet cloth, if the application is not nice at first try, quickly wipe off the touch up paint before it dry. The paint need some time to stick on the clear coat, but keep the affected area as minimum as possible then you can apply until the outcome satisfied you.

Mine kena some bastard scratch it when I parked in shopping mall, the paint came off and showing several black spots already. I use the touch up on the affected area because if want to repaint, I need to paint bumper, bodykit & fender (all not that serious, a bit here and there). After that I ask the coating shop help to buff the area during coating maintenance.

Attached some picture for you, it doesn't obvious at all.
