    Micra vs Squirrel

    So this happened over the weekend:

    The squirrel did not survive and the same can be said about the lower grill.

    I haven't called Nissan yet to get a price on what a new bumper and painting will cost. It just kind of sucks that the lower grill isn't its own part like the upper grill is.

    Depending on the costs I may get the bumper replaced or cut out the remaining lower grill and replace it with some other material. I'll post updates if I go that route.

    Holy crap! That was a squirrel impact? That is a pretty hard hit to bust out a whole section of grill.

    You are right about it being one piece with the rest of the bumper. Replacement is one option but I like your thinking of cutting out the rest and replacing it with something else. At least then you can control the hole size in the bottom part of the bumper.

    I wouldn't expect that much damage from a squirrel. Man! I hope the repairs won't cost too much.

    Lol! A small racoon cracked my bumper and took out the A/c condensor coil. Im not surprised about the squirrel.
