Dents and cracks

Dents and cracks was created by Gadget
Somewhat gutted today. Washed the car and found a sizeable dent in the trim panel below the driver's side headlight with a chunk of paint missing too. No other sign of damage and as the panel is recessed I can only assume it was from a rock getting flung up by another car. Have touched up the paintwork and thankfully the dent isn't hugely noticeable. 

 

More worrying is this at the front leading edge of the passenger side roof gutter. Looks like something has split/delaminated. Seems thicker than just paint but I don't want to pick at it too much if there's a chance Suzuki will fix under warranty.

Looks a bit of an odd shape and place to be a stone being thrown up, any chance it has been reversed into whilst parked up? Maybe a van or pick-up or something with a high bumper

I agree with Soeley but I would add supermarket shopping trolley. Fully loaded and with a kid pushing it they are lethal.

That's an unusual bit of damage to the front panel, one of the mobile dent repair specialists should be able to fix that, so long as they can get to the back of the panel.

It's recessed a few inches top and bottom, so would have to have been a narrow protrusion of some kind, possibly the corner of a flatbed. Really irritating and no idea when it happened as I'd not washed the car for a couple of weeks.

That's not stone damage. Someone has bumped into you.
