Hi all here's the thing, I hit a badger in the wifes206 and I've got a bent
Lower crossmember thing, the thing it goes across at the frot bottom
and supports the rad assembly.

I got old one off (drilled 6 spot welds)
Will it be ok just to bolt new one on with 6 m6 bolts plus some
Tiger seal.

As the metals not thick what it fits to, so can't imagine is much structural.

Yeah didn't think of that.

Is all bolted now with m6 bolts plus some tiger seal on,
and painted with some stone chip. Alls good just got
to get some clips for the sp grill.

You were lucky to get away with so little damage ... Badger's are bl**dy tough and I've heard of two cars written-off because of a run in with one!

Tell me about it.

I was quite lucky really,

cracked bumper on lower edge corner
Bust fog light mount on both light and bumper
Lower crossmember bent
Smashed arch liner


Just glad it wasn't smack bang in the middle of the car
