BLOODY PIGEONS "Get out of the way"

Post by rapport25 »

Driving home last night from work in that lovely rain and I hit a pigeon :frown: . Heard a large bang and its damaged the lower black grill :evil: :evil: yes the one with shinny bling bling on!!! Or not so shinny bling bling now :cry: :cry: . Have noticed it is cracked very bad and have tried to glue it with super 3. looks ok. But was wondering If you can buy just the lower black grill and how easy it is fit?

Any help please?

Many thanks Rappy 8) 8) 8)

Sorry to here about this rappy.

Has anyone else noticed there seems to be an incredible number of Pigeons around this year? it is very noticeable. This morning I saw one had been mashed by a car and a Crow was pulling at it's blooded, open flesh 8)

Very good Welly :lol: :lol: :lol: .

I have spent the best part of today giving my car a bit more TLC to Mrs rappy's delight :oops:

Have spent around 3 hrs sticking my fingers and the dam grill back together. Looks very good now :D .I like things just so 8) 8) Have also used some black spray paint on a brush to get rid of the white marks the glue leaves behind. Car is back to looking good again!!! :cheesy: :cheesy: .

Have to say Welly your tips on cleaning products are excellent. I still use auto glm products but that clay bar and McGuirs is excellent..

My Pug has never looked so shinny and felt so sexual :oops: Even Mrs Rappy is impressed with how smooth the paint is.

Dont get on the forum much now. My work is crazy but I can report back the 406 is a pleassure to drive and will be staying.

I have cut miles down to around 6 to 7k with using my works car, But still have respect for what a dam good car a 406 is.

Hows the Volvo Welly? I have recently driven an M3 not new shape the one previous Ewhat ever it is not up on BMW'S to be honest.

And I can honestly say I want one. 8) 8) 8) 8)

Hope everyone is keeping well.
