Just as a thought, I think you have to report it that you hit a badger?

 

[makavelli]

Andy, removethe bumper as follows:
1. Open the bonnet and remove the two clips in either corner of the top grille.
2. underdo the clips on the undertray that mount onto the subframe.
3. you need a socket and wrench with extension. Go to the front wheel arch. Where the bumper meets the wing you should be able to feel that the archline is flexible. There two bolts for each side.once the bolts are out. pull the bumper towards you. repeat for the opposite side.
4. disconnect washers and fogs.
5. any questions, drop me a PM.

Hope you get it sorted.

If its not badgers, its pheasants!!!

Gutted matey, looks like they cause quite a bit of damage how fast did you hit it?

[Dan Page]

[pjh20]

I HIt a fox doing 70mph on the french motorway but it connected with the passenger front corner and there was no damage just some blood. then i hit a pheasant whilst doing 60 which has put a crack in me front bumper..... Stupid fuc%n bird!!!

 

[Rich_16v]

Unlucky...

Its your aircon radiator thats bent, it you take the upper front grill off you'll be able to see straight down to assess the damage better

 

[Maz]

Just as a thought, I think you have to report it that you hit a badger?

I think your right Daz ...

I know it is the last thing on your mind at the moment Andy but I think you deffo have to report it...

[Giles]

ouch!

Glad you are ok

 

[Tigger]

nasty indeed
hope it's not too much trouble underneath so you can get it sorted soon

 

[makavelli]

gonna be an own pocket jobbie, cant afford to pay the high access and the insurance hike!

updte: i have temperarily fixed the radiators in position so they should hold for a while, the aircon works and the radiator and fan are working, its just the brackets that are fooked

trying to reaattch the bust bit of the bumper at the mo so it is drivable untill i can either get a new one or get this one filled and repaired

 

[Guy]

looks nasty!
was this after you refitted ya bodged up cup splitter?? lol

b*****d animals. a suicidal owl flew directly at my car at 60mph a few months back and smashed the cover off.

 

[makavelli]

luckily i hadnt put the splitter back on yet

 

[Guy]

put it back on now, then glue the bit of bumper back in on the cup splitter and each end.

jobs a good un

 

[makavelli]

i will post pics of my temp fix in a minute wen the bumpers back on! it aint pretty but will have to do till i can replace it

 

[Guy]

i can imagine it now..

some of art attacks finest PVA glue
some orange tape
and a kellogs cornflake box.

oh not to mention the tv classic, a fairy liquid bottle.

 

[MattyH16v]

My bro hit a small deer last year, and I had exactly the same damage. Needed new rad, grill and bumper. Took me ages to get it all sorted again. Every time I started up the engine I could smell cooking deer on the engine and exhaust!:dead:. Hope u get sorted soon.

 

[makavelli]

heres the temporary fix:

 

[Guy]

10/10 for effort and constructiveness
