I hit a deer at around 40mph a couple of years back. It rolled under the front and stayed there for about 50m before coming out the back. When safe to stop I looked at the FL and was relieved to see most of the damage was superficial, so drove on. Later that day I started losing power and smoke out the exhaust. Turned out that the bumper had crumpled into the radiators before springing back into shape. Both radiators pushed back and destroyed. Intercooler pipes split. And so on.

Wow! Well spotted! I’ll give them a ring on Monday and see if it is still lying around. I’m just so relieved to get it back, that I would probably not have noticed if half the front was missing! 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

My cover has one of the 2 fixing clips missing currently so if you end up with them having to get you a new cover due to damage and old cover is around can you get me a clip off it please. 👍 FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Looking good Lovely looking loch there too. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Got my towing eye cover re-fixed. The garage still had the original, so I’m afraid there are no spare clips to send to you, YB. 2005 D3 2.7 Auto
