BIG-COL Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hi had a bit of bad luck at the weekend ( not as much as the partridge ) I hit a bird on the M42 on my way to Newcastle in my 370z Nismo, when i got up there i noticed not only had i hit the bird, but it had gone straight through my front end & was still hanging from the car, i have been told by Nissan it will require a new front end, My Nismo is a 2014 which i adore, but the 2015 Nismo has a different front end with LED light which looks stunning, The question i am going to ask is, can i fit a 2015 front end to my 2014 car, the electrics is my concern, i think the front end will be the same size.

mouthwash Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Isn't there a fad to leave cute animals hanging off/attached to the bumper? Could save some dollar and leave as is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 looks to me that they could or at least a decent body shop could repair that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Poor bird I don't see why that can't be repaired. Damage doesn't look all that bad to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG-COL Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Just had the quote off Nissan, £954 thats for a new 2014 front end. The 2015 front end is £1210 before fitting The Bodyshop manager said if it was just the split where the bird went in, he could repair it, but where the lower spoiler is split he couldn't guarantee its strength. I'm going to have a look around for a good body repair place, its finding one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right the led sidelights were the expensive part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 At least it wasn't in a pear tree when you hit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
