Someones kindly contacted me about a bumper, so that's one problem solved.
The other day a deer jumped out infront of me, nothing i could do to avoid it. So now I need a new bumper and rhs radiator, anyone got any good places to get new or used parts? Ideally collection in the cotswold area...but post is fine.
Annoyingly i had just wd40'd the suspension, and the creek seemed to have gone, think its back now too :-|
Many thanks for any assistance.
cheers
Oli
Sorry to hear that ... Will be an expesnive repair (including respraying)

That will give you some idea what cost you are talking about...

Cheers for the reply, Yeah it was totally unexpected really, just bounded out of a bush straight infront of me, not really anywhere to go, and the brakes didnt stop me enuff for it to clear the bumper. There is of course some plastics missing, the repeater, and indicator cover, and i think a couple of smaller brackets. Bit of a mess, seems to drive fine otherwise. I cant see it being cheaper to claim on
insurance
overall as my no claims arent protected.
I've spoken to Porsche who aren't much different to porsche shop, design911 seem quite reasonable, tho vat isnt included in their prices. My local bodyshop seem to think that a used one would do after its resprayed, any opinions on this?
thanks guys.
Hard luck chap, have clipped a Monkjack in a different car and escaped with just a hoof through the indicator. Happened at night and literally jumped over the hedge at full pelt...I thought it was a flying reindeer at first!! :lol:
Little comfort but it could have been much much worse and sounds as if you were unharmed?
Best bet if you're looking for a cheap fix (are you doing yourself?). Conatcyt PorschApart, they should have loads of bumpers on the shelf, may eve have your colour :thumb: For the rad though I'd get new, I believe on the 996 these are quite commonly replaced anyway and the last thing you need is a water-cooling problem.
Lol, a flying reindeer isnt really what you expect is it! Always a shock.
Yeah I was totally unharmed, didnt really even feel much of the impact through the car, I think the guy in the van behind was more shocked than me! The deer also was thrown into the ditch, so i didnt have to move a horrid mess from the road, which was also a relief.
Someones kindly contacted me about a bumper, so that's one problem solved. I'll take your advice and just buy a new radiator. Found a few for around £130 which seems ok. Then its just plastic time
Least its got me back onto the motorbike, not going fast down that road tho, first time a Fireblade has held up cars on a long straight
Cheers all.
