Bird strike

[wizzi]

​I had a pheasant run into the road in front of me today with me doing about 70 with a volvo 2" from my rear bumper unfortunatly for him he didnt look both ways, unfortunatly for me he broke the lower grill.

 

With a very quick google search they seem quite cheap (£30), although i'm planning on asking the dealer how much they are.

 

Has anybody changed this? any tips?, i havent had chance to look at it today as it was hoofing it down for most of the day.

I'm pretty sure the lower Grille comes lose looking online at manuals and such, where abouts in Wilts are you? As I'm in the county over

Result, dry today so managed to have a look,  removed part of the inner arch and managed to clip it back in, it looked like its a bumper off job to replace it though.

As I suspected, sorry I never messaged you back btw, I was going to, but been busy! But yeah, where you are is about 2 hours odd away so I probably wouldn't be able to offer a hand

No worries, i quite like tinkering, having two new cars now normally stops me being able to play and i'm m'bike-less now as well so , so i quite enjoyed myself!!​
