Shame buddy, metal is metal from what I hear and have seen it's a 50 / 50 whether or not deer comes through screen and kills or badly injures occupant. At least your in one piece to fix the car

[Wobbly Dave]

Hope you picked up the dead ones to sell later?

I hate prangs - coz I feel the need to fix them instantly - however it will be sorted I am sure.

[Haizum74]

[M-R-P]

Glad you're ok mate, at least you got 2 of the little scumbags ;)

[AndysR]

Crap news especially after you've just had the car cosmetically smartened up too! :(

Plus point I guess that the car didn't come off too badly but still that's crap luck :(

[Porcine_Aviator]

Deer deer still you're OK and that's the main thing. Having seen the results of a large animal through a windscreen, not nice, I'm glad to see you got off lightly, might not seem like it with the damage but you're in one piece.

[Kingsford G]

I`d say that was lucky as u u r ok of couse it`s a shame wiv the car but that can b fixed.

[t5 pete]

[jamesy12345]

Lucky there fella. A good reason to fiddle with our cars, to make them brake and grip better. Plus to fix the broken bits

[Darkstar-SFX]

Bummer! Glad you're ok :-) A mate of mine in Northern Michigan, USA had a deer go through his driver side window and exit through the passenger side! Both driver, passenger AND deer survived with minor abrasions and skid-marks!

Look on the bright side - fur lined alloys could be the next "big thing" :B_thumb:

[Darkstar-SFX]

Just saw the original date of post! Better late than never :crazy:
