Bird Strike took out my grill!

Hi All,

Was driving through the Cotswolds today and had a bird strike! - a nice plump Pheasant (not to be confused with a plump peasant) came sideways at height into my path.

It took out two of the chrome uprights in the grill on the drivers side (UK RHD), but luckily no other damage.

I have already ordered a replacement whilst I was out, however not looked yet at how to remove the old and fit the new, as just got home and it is already dark.

Anyone already done this and able to give any advice? New one doesn’t arrive until Wed/Thu, so will be next weekend when I fit - as will be the first daylight that I am at home.

Thanks
Mark.
