Hit a pigeon at 75mph!
Well pissed off, wish i stayed at home earlier
It was walking on the dual carriage way so i went to the left to avoid it and he went the same fcking way
Heres the damage( your probably expecting more but this is enough for me)
The black grill protecting the rad has been completly ripped off so thats just been placed there and luckily its staying put for now, it must have gone through the grill and into the rad as theres bits of bird burnt on it and it bloody reeks
Hoping the rad is ok as it was making a fizzing sound with abit of steam coming from it initially, then it stopped doing that after a while and i havent lost any water and i cant see any on the drive so im hoping its ok
Can the bumper be repaird? dont tell me i need a whole new one

Mine was cleared of most the mess before i took the pic.
Its worse when you have owned a car for 2 years and never put one scratch on it and then this
So do you think that my bumper can be repaired?

My mate hit one in his 2i years back now, it was wedged in the slot in the bumper they have, a massive cloud of feathers erupted from the front of his car as I was following him in my 3i at the time!
Was funny as fuck! Pigeon was about 2 inches wide by the time we'd fished it out!

Was it fudge who got a pheasants head or something stuck in the front end of his car and tried to ebay it
Bumper looks repairable and the fizzing was probably just pigeon blood or something with the heat

Unlucky mate
you got of lightly indeed
my dad hit one in his tigra years back
smashed the headlight foglight grille in bumper and scrapped all bumper
think it was pigeon or a blackbird whatever it was did some damage
was only doing about 50
