Oh Deer ;D  :-[ :-[

Look on the bright side though matey. You could be worse off, you & the car :( :(

A lad at school was found slump over a stone wall near his village & his bike was smashed up down the road, they said a Deer had ran infront of him :(

Minor damage
A deer wrote of one of my Volvo 960s - that takes a lot of doing!

tnx guys, now i jus gotta try find the bits i need for it... the metal bar behind the front bumper is bent so the bumper on the drivers side is sticking out, i need the plastics that goes between the headlight and the front bumper (for both sides), i need a new grill and a new washer bottle (and possibly the sensor to go with it?)

if any 1 has any of these bits going cheap or jus wanna get shot of i would be more than happy (they colour of mine is Z359 dark green... jus in case some by chance has the plastics in my colour  :P)

UPDATE:
 Ok guys i hav jus had a better look at it and now need  a new front bumper and a new support bar. May also need a new radiator tho there appears to be no leaks or damage to the fins... it jus now curves in a bit

If any 1 has any parts please let me no so i can try and arrange funds for it (it getting nearer to the end of the month means my money is low)

thanks in advanced!

The person who runs it down cannot pick it up and take it home. Only people after that can take it home to eat  :y

Pal of mine had his 6 week old Jeep Grand Cherokee written off after what he describes as " two suicidal b*!^*"d deer"  jumped out in front of him.
Hell of a mess to the car, lucky guy.
