Oh ffs! I think someone on here is offering a grill for free (or cheaply) though it might need painting upYesterday driving home from work a pheasant decided to headbutt my grill!
View attachment 140854
To be honest I got off lightly, with the sound (bang) it made I thought the bonnet might be dented and damaged!
Sorry for the rubbish pictures.
Hopefully I’ll get all these bits fitted tomorrow if it stops raining.
I’ve got headlights, tail lights, side repeaters, grille, sportline bumper and splitter, led bulbs for fogs, rear spoiler and dash and door seals. Also waiting on the lower grilles with drl’s in.

No mate…. it disappeared in an explosion of feathers and headlights! Poor little bugger

Mate you missed an opportunity there. Pre plucked pheasant and you let it get away after it mugged you off.
I'm removing 5 man points for that. He's sat with a could of his mates a few beers looking at the nice gloss black worktop he's got in his kitchen made from your grill.

Isn't it illegal to pick up your own roadkill?
I've never heard of such a law, although there might be some local by-law somewhere dating back many years.
The S11 Wildlife and Countryside Act is the bit that prevents you from taking the animal if you're the one that killed it:
S11(2) Subject to the provisions of this Part, if any person...
(e) uses any mechanically propelled vehicle in immediate pursuit of any such wild animal for the purpose of driving, killing or taking that animal...
he shall be guilty of an offence. Doubt they could get you on this....

I hit a pigeon in the Amarok. I might have been able to miss him, but thought 'av it, I'm in a tough 4x4'. When I got home and saw the broken grille, I realised that the tough 4x4 is still made out of the same stuff that little cars are.
Today I finished fitting my floor, carpeted bench and drivers seat .. we’ll chuffed..
Now ready for a bed

Yes, there’s stronger plastic in my recycling bin, cosmetic appearance and unit cost is all that matters. T6 bumpers are about as strong as chocolate.
I blame Blue Peter presenters for making stuff out of yogurt pots.
The Woodland trust don't mention what legislation relates to taking roadkill home for the pot, probably because it's just a myth.Road kill top 10

The RAC seem more knowledgeable on the subject;
What to do if you hit an animal with your car | RAC Drive
Hitting an animal with your car can naturally be very stressful. Read our advice on what to do and who to call if you hit any animal with your car.
They describe an "unwritten rule" that if you kill an animal in a collision, you shouldn't take it away. So not a law.
That’s deer! But the bloke following you can have it away
