Oh Deer

[Wayneski200]

Hi everybody I’m in desperate need I had a deer run out on me a couple of weeks ago and I’m after some parts and advice the front bumper took the impacted and I need to find the parts to get the car back up on the road.I have taken the front bumper off and what I can see the radhas been pushed back the engine is not running right!I had to cancel a insurance claim because my insurance wanted to scrap it and that’s not happening so I would be grateful of any help I am going to sort it out myself I’ve had the car from new and it’s not going anywhere.

You want to see if the chassis legs have moved.

If the chassis legs have moved slightly but you do not have any crinkles in the welds or metal work you may be able to shift them back.

I had a bit of a smash in my Clio at Snetterton and hit the front of the car against the armco. After finding a new bumper, replacing the radiator (and a lot of other parts) and using a portapower to move the chassis leg very slightly it all went back together fine.

My chassis legs are fine it was only a small deer I’ve been searching for a new bumper can’t find 1 that’s not got damage on if any body has any information on finding 1 I would be grateful I just need to find a few other bits I don’t know where to look.

They’re hard to come by. Renault do still sell them but they’re expensive.
