After Reading The thread from the guy who hit a tow bar and the repairs cost 11 Grand, I felt obliged to share my experience following a seemingly small knock;
One evening on my way home I hit a pheasant, or the Pheasant hit me, lets say I was traveling close to the national speed limit, the resulting damage was a cracked front upper grill and cracked paint on the bumper and grey bit beneath the grill.
Initially I was quoted over £300.00 for the grill alone and Nissan wanted something like £1500.00 for a new bumper!
In the end after refusing to make a claim on my insurance for such little damage, I managed to get them to make good and re-spray the bumper under the warranty (My car is white)
The other good news is I guess that the parts department have said that GTR parts have come down in price for whatever reason and have quoted me £233.00 for the new grill :clap:
Every cloud and all that..
