Some tossers Scraped my Front bumper on the corner (passenger side) is not deep at all and to be honest is just a surface mark but its 6 inches long and has exposed the white :/
God knows how he/she managed it
What's the best way to fix this will metallic T cut work?
If not what should i use?
Severely pissed off
If it has gone through the paint, it's spray it time.
You're not the only one. Coming back from the coast today I wiped out a pheasant. It appeared from the other side of the road and started to saunter across.
Me being a good motorist moved further over to the left, at which point it sprinted across. And got wiped over the front bumper. I'd have stopped but dediced it wasn't worth taking to the butchers to get plucked.

They do seem to enjoy being killed by stuff. Amazingly stupid creatures.
Yay sucess it seems the white rough part I could see/feel was in fact off his bumper, must have just clipped it within a hairs width!
You were lucky. A friend of mine hit a pheasant at ~80mph, and it absolutely ANNIHILATED the front of his Volvo 850 Estate. New bumper, both headlights, radiator, etc. etc. !

Um. You sure it wasn't a sheep or something? I've hit a couple of pheasants at 70+mph, and there has been no damage, at least to the car, that 5 minutes with a jetspray couldn't fix.
Or perhaps it's simply the vastly superior build quality of early 90's peugeots?
It was a pheasant or a pigeon or something - it was years ago, and I can't remember now. But I do remember the huge hole in the front :)
I didn't know I'd hit a huge bird of prey, until one day I noticed a bird's foot poking out of the bottom grill (Mk1 405). Gave it a bit of a tug, and extracted it from inside the bumper, complete with whopping great bird attached :)
Could be !

Cool :D
Heh, we did that a few months ago in the cossie. Swiped a pigeon, thought nothing of it and carried on driving around with it's arse sticking out of the front grill for the rest of the night :)
When I had the Saab, saw this blur and looked where it was going just to catch sight of a pidgeon going across the windscreen to hit passenger side. The Wonderful aero dynamics of the Saab helped though. The battered ramains were sucked across the roof, and when I got to work, a solitary grey feather was trapped in the electric antenna, daintily wrapped arround the metal afety button at the top.
Missus who passed by a couple of minutes behind me saw it totally mashed on the road, even though there is little traffic at that time, and it was on the verge.
Hit a pigeon when doing 45mph on my old scooter down the hill into my village - right in the chest. That stung.
LMAO !
But mine's a Merc 124 series. Big, heavy and it hurts what you hit. It's my second after I got hit whilst stationary by someone doing 70. His car was pulp but mine had only a bit of damage.

Lightweights. Try hitting a kangaroo.

Well we do have Cows and Horses to drive into here !
Yeah, but Cows and Horses rarely punch back.
They don't need to - the first hit is a knockout (for both parties) :)
Lest us not forget deer...
