My car is looking exactly the same. The locusts are very bad around the murrayland area at the moment.
As Bear Grylls would say "plenty of protein for you to eat and keep you alive"...lol

I can see your problem, its the software in the ECU, its a bit buggy.

Even after you clean them off the smell of cooked locusts lingers for months.

I know that this is going to sound really bizzare but when you know that there is a hopper/locust plague coming to an area near you and you are going to drive through it, do your self a favour and get your grille covered with fly screen and your bonnet and front bar covered with clear contact (fitted with a mild soapy solution and squeegeed off). You can cut the bonnet bit to size before you strip the backing. Sure it isn't pretty but a helluva lot easier to clean and saves your paint work, plus when all those horrid little buggers have gone you can peel it off and you have your paint again. Good to polish it before you apply lol
In Pic #5 is that a radar detector on your dash?
As Cartman might say, " holy shit, dude" :woot:

I have a piece of fly screen & gaffer tape in the boot ready to go.
Cut to shape & did a trial fit and a couple of days ago, should work OK.
Just wondering about the numberplate though. Can see it & read the rego number no sweat through the fly screen, but is it legal to cover your numberplate with fly screen?
Fitted a piece of fly screen to the GF's car yesterday, as she does a lot of hills driving, and covered the numberplate. I don't think she would be impressed with me if Plod pulled her over & gave her a ticket for having a supposedly obscured numberplate!
Man, and I complained cause the front of my car was covered in bugs. My car is pristine compared to that... Dare say the hoppers are ready to go again with the next few days looking like primo flying weather for them...
