Title: Front End Damage Golf R
Post by: jdjd on 03 September 2012, 18:02

Managed to strike a fox last night at speed:
 Completely smashed my front grill, and undertray is hanging off, Got it to a little garage in my village to tidy it up so i could get it to a bodyshop, Apparently its caused even more damage then I thought:
 he says Its gone straight though the aircon and radiator even though no water is leaking? Is that possible?
 All bumper is cracked, Just abit of a sh!t day really? 2k for repairs anybody?  :undecided:

Badgers and Pheasants are normaly my kind of kill aka slow F*&$&%s.  To get a fox is quite impressive if expensive.

That's bad news! :shocked:

There are quite a few foxes around Sheffield too. Almost hit one on my way home from work yesterday.

You need to put your strike here JD. :wink:
