Partridge 1 (RIP) Elise 0 !!!

As the title says, heading of to Hethel yesterday morning and came over a brow of a hill to find 6 partridges in the road, 5 made it one didn't. He managed to get airborne and hit the car just below the light on the passenger side leaving a 7 inch crack horizontally right on the leading edge of the clam:-



Can anyone let me know if this is repairable (I assume it is) and if so the likely cost?

Bit of a dampner on the weekead really as the day at Hethel today was great, many thanks to all those who organised it

Crumbs. I hit a partridge six days after I bought my Elise, but thankfully it punched throught the front grill without touching the clam. This shows how lucky I was!

I've some excellent recipes for partridge. The one with a pear sauce worked well last Christmas.

The one I hit had it's beak wedged into the radiator with legs dangling out. I'll never forget the moment that it hit. I'd only just bought the car, and it made one hell of a bang. When I got out and knelt down to look I couldn't believe that it hadn't hit the clam in some way. I've got some photos somewhere.

What is it with feckin partridges?? One topped itself via my front grill taking a bit of the clam with it. It didn't even have the decency to go under the tyres. Bloody inconsiderate birds, they want shooting if you ask me........

Any ideas on costs or where I might get it fixed around the Wiltshire area?

And there was me thinking you'd killed Alan. All in his home county too. Should be possible to repair I reckon, probably not cheap though. £500 to a grand at a guess if it needs a respray on the front after the repair?
