DTM Cars bought the cheap Trophy that was posted on CS to break, maybe see if they've still got the bumper mate.
No idea re logistics/cost but might be worth a try.

Sorry to hear, hopefully the damage is only the bumper, it looks to be. I don't remember anything important being behind there
My biggest wildlife altercation was hitting a muntjac at what must have been about 25-30mph under heavy braking in my old Peugeot 309. The thing was a tank - the only damage was a cracked number plate but the poor animal came off pretty bad. I've also hit a pheasant and yes, it did far more damage than the muntjac ever did so the theory that they are armor plated is a pretty precise story

Should of seen the state of my Transporter after hitting one at about 60mph. Both headlights hanging out, smashed plastic grill, VW badge missing and a big dent in the metal front panel. Not to mention the egg yolk all over the windscreen :dead:
Haa nice to know that its not just me. Its amazing how much damage one silly little bird can do
I managed to push it all back so it just little crack marks and taped up the inside with glue in the cracks till i get hold of a new bumper hope it holds

Unlucky mate At least it doesn't look to be any worse than the bumper and that it didn't cause an accident. Good luck with the repair / replacement.

Luckily the bumpers are the same all across the 1*2 so you shouldn't have too much of an issue picking one up!

Thats was easy haaa On my way home form a mates a nice fat pheasant jumped straight in the road, with a car coming the other way i couldn't move over much but did what i could. It was wet and slippery on a fast road managed to slow down a bit but this is what happen
A pheasant did that?
I hit a deer last year in my old bora, and it just had surface paint fractures. I'm going to have to keep a spare bumper in the garage for the clio
yer i couldn't believe it heard the bang and it didn't sound bad a all. got home and looked and i was like wow that one hard pheasant lol
Ouch! Properly ruined that bumper.
