Default S2000 swallowed a black bird!

I went to Brands Hatch to watch the A1 as my firm sponsor the car. I had a great time as we were in full hospitality and even got to go inside the pits and garage. SHame Team GB didn't win the 2nd race, but was a great day.

I was coming home on the A20 and managed to get caught up in Gumball 3000 which was superb, the funny thing is the crowds that gathered on the side of the road were even waving at me...was very sureal. Basically I had a lambo, mustang, corvette and then a lovely Porsche.

After this I finally got to North cray road and began to reduce my speed as the notorious camera was approaching. Out of nowhere this Kamikaze black bird flew across the road. I hit it and got all of its feathers in the car as I had the roof down!!! I pulled over and it was stuck inside the grill and pretty injured.

I decided to go home as I only had about 5 mins to go...got home and got some gloves....stuck my hand in the grill and the bird flapped around a bit and then leaped out and flew off!

I think a grill is next on my list!!!!

I got my grill after hitting this bird. All I could see was the leg and a few feathers as per the photo I found the rest of it a week later tucked under the front bumper well cooked

Lovely.....I could have kept mine in there for a while as a pet!

Any recommendations on what grill or how to do it?
