Hi people,

Bad news this morning, i hit a deer doing 50 mph. Front bumper is smashed, right corner. The gap between the wing and bonnet looks bigger now,(hopefully it can be pushed back in a little). No other damage aparrent as yet, but i need to get the front bumper off to inspect, ie, intercooler, piping, etc.

So, i need a new front bumper to start with. I remember so time back some posts about the 99 spec front bumper, and places that sell them. Does anyone know where the best place to get 1? Also, is it wise to paint first then fit? Can i fit myself, i seem to remember that these bumpers do not have any locating points/holes and they must be drilled.

I am at work at the moment, and cannot get the time search, but i will search tonight when i get home.

Thanks people,

 

(A very sad) Al.

Bad luck that .... a deer doing 50 mph !

 

Hope it's sortable without jig and strech

hows the deer?

hi the 99 bumper is a geniune nissan part ,paint before fitting ,then fit the mesh,you have to modify the bumper bar that holds the spots swap the brackets from your old bumper and you,ll also need new indicators for the bumper

Doh oh no mate :( Z centre do the 99 spec bumper.

unlucky mate.

 

if you need a front bumper you can have the one from my breaker free of charge. Just need to pay for postage from zedworld or collect it, if you choose not to get an upgraded one.

Thats a pisser the damage done to your car but the good news loads of free meat...But did you know its illegal to take roadkill that you hit but the car behind can take it.I guess thats to stop people chasing down animals in there cars to eat em.

 

Out of interest do you know what type of deer it was

 

I hope you checked for signs of disease when gralloching the deer before you eat it.
