Vw & Raccoon Geico commercial

[Brad]

I nailed the grandpaw raccoon at like 65 and my lowered, bumperless front apron got smashed.
-Could I straiten it
cut the grill out...(leaving an open rectangle)
and weld some small diamond expanded metal/ iron mesh
or would I be better off shaving it or welding a new clip in?

Have you got any pictures of the damage?
I think it would be better to repair or replace but with out seeing the damage it's difficult to say.

[Brad]

Coon debris.

[justdubbin]

That should repair, will you be doing it or are you getting a bodyshop to do the work?
If your getting a bodyshop to do it there should be no problem repairing it

[Brad]

Bodyshop fa show, but I was just thinkin while I've got them beatin and hackin around, maybe I could do something a little different. In a year or two: the handles, chrome, and hinges will get shaved, so all together, I think it would look nice and clean with the smooth front apron. But maybe just a stock repair would suit it better.

I think the biggest reason to keep the front vent might be the same reason alot of people don't like the 03, without the front bumper it does look very bulbous and the vent tends to take this away from the eye, a bit of an optical illusion maybe.

I'm not to sure if that makes sense now it did when I started to write it honest
