Just got back from Germany, into Heathrow coming down the M4, dirty great lump of something comes off this lorries wheel (sans mudflaps) flies toward the car.

Almighty bang :eek: ,

Get back home, hole in front grille big enough to put fist through :Cry1:

Looks like the radiator is OK though.

So, a quick MAX power inspired repair (quick trip to H$%fords in the morning for some mesh) and off to Germany in the car.

Hopefully can get a new grille while I'm out there.

Like I said Bu!!er Bu!!er BU!!ER :furious3:

Unlucky. :sad3:

Good luck with the repair. DIY shops also sell assorted mesh.

Yeah, could have been worse.

Could've got a headlamp, or worse yet punched through the radiator.

I might even stick with the metal grille, if I can make it look suitably original.

We will see ;)

So, my baby is patched up with chicken wire for the trip to Deutschland and the local mitsy dealer in Hameln will have a new grille for me on Tuesday.

All in for 120 yoyo's (about 80 quid)

So, everything is right in the world again.
