Front end meets hare. Both lose.

[JonC219]

Driving home from work down the back roads, hare decides to have a sprint race as I get near it.

Sh!t happens


Initial Damage Broken bits Straightened out

Repair will do for the mo, but lower part of the bumper is cracked and looks like the A/C rad has pushed back into the engine rad.

Bloody wildlife!:banghead:

Agree with that, £170 down the drain

Bad luck pal, hopefully wont cost too much for the repairs!

 

[Eddie.]

Surprised a hare has caused damage to the rad tbh! Didn't think they were big enough!

Bad luck there pal

 

[Nickson]

Was the Hare alright?

Unlucky though..

I had a deer walk out of me before, and stand right in my path. Luckily I managed to brake in time!!

I had the same on the way back from Ft. William once, luckily it moved in time! I braked but would never have stopped!

Probably the scariest driving experience I have had!

Narrow country lane, embankments either side, at night. Bloody animals. This thing didn't move until I had pretty much stopped.

The damage they cause when they hit cars too is insane!

 

[Eddie.]

They can kill people can't they? If they come through the windscreen it won't do you much good!

Doesn't take much to make a big dent in your car and wallet. The result of my 3am coming together with a very small deer. £1.5k repair. Took out the radiator and air con.

 

[LiamR172]

Ouch, nasty one.

I remember I was heading to work at 5am. Came round a corner to find 3 large stags crossing the road. Lucky I wasn't going that fast so I managed to stop! Would of been a bad one!

Stick with the fabia splitter

My friend's lass hit a deer nearly killed her came through the windscreen,the car was bad she was very lucky it did'nt hit the driver's side.

The skoda splitter is made from such soft plastic it'd literally have acted as a big sponge and saved the hare

[Nickson]

Ouch!!

 

[dmallett]

My front bumper currently hangs low one side from hitting a hare.
cable ties should fix it
