This entire thread has me laughing. Deer mating with Bonnies :?: Umm, NO!

I am a firm believer that that species (deer) should be hunted till #* are very low and the rest be contained to be killed for venisin. Deer around here are a manace and I really hate them.

As my wife would say........YES DEER! I agree!

Geoff did the actual side panel survive? I've found those pieces to be resiliant as all hell. Its the plastic connectors that bite it.

Just bumping this cause I removed the door panel after I got the insurance estimate: $914.00

Unfortunately for me, the door is in much worse shape than I thought. have a look:

After panel was removed.


A closer look at the leading clip. You can see the paint cracked and metal bent around it on the rear side.



The large dent in the center


The smaller dents


And here you can't really see it cause of the flash, but half way between the top and bottom clips is a scratch to the metal in most places. Also can see it in previous images.


So this means I have to take the car to a show and get a new estimate so that I can get reimbursed for the door since the only wrote in blending the paint and replacing the molding that was broke.

Just what I need right now (been a stressful week and a half)

im rather surprised at how much damage was done to the door from a deer hit on the front :?
Make sure you get on the insurance company for that damage aswell
