Update

This weekend i got the car ready for mot, checked everything over, i noticed my rear tyres were boarder line so i swapped them over for some fairly new bridgestones i had. Made up a temporary filter for the charger until i can get over to jek so i found some pond filtering in the workshop.
 

 I hadent driven the car in over 2 month and was extremely weird getting back in it. Drove it to the mot station which was around 10miles which gave me time to get used to it again and totally forgot how much i enjoy driving it! I arrived at the station and got it on the emissions tester straight away. Ive always taken the laptop with me just incase for emissions purposes and knowing that ive been fighting with a idle valve problem for awhile. Luckily it passed without a hitch, then the car continued with its test. Having known the guy for years we had a good chat during the test, followed by his method of checking "thats new" "thats new" etc I came away with a pass and no advisories.



Apon my journey home this is where my week turned bad, i was driving through a section of trees which was well lite due to the sun to have a deer jump out from the other side of the road and cross my path. I was quick in reacting and veered to the right hard aswell as locking the fronts from 60mph. Unfortunately the deer was a big stag and just clipped his rear leg with the front end of the car. Pulled over straight way and got out to see the damaged, luckily id struck it with the headlight and indicator and bumper and having not caused any pannel damage. Limped it back to the workshop.

  
Today i got stripping it down to asses any further damage. It had bent the nearside bumper bracket luckily i managed to straighten that out in the vice. Naturally i would need a new bumper and red trim which ive sourced a good aftermarket on from ebay same as i had on the car and ive a good pile of red trims at home. The bottom valance came away uncracked surprisingly with only paint chips from the towing eye. Dan was kind enough to give me a headlight and i ordered a very pricey indicator from eurocarparts at £5! And i think ive got a cut in a silicone joiner from where the valance was pushed into it. Thankfully i got off lightly.



  Please insert all your deer jokes below i think ive heard them all now
