    Roadkills Revenge

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Last night, i hit a possom or perhaps a raccoon, in either case, theres pieces of it in my engine bay. The resulting damage is what i need help with. If anyone has, knows the right name, or knows someone that has these, please let me know.

    Trapezoidal Chrome Trim piece (lower half has huge gauge, would like to replace)
    Cupra R type front spoiler (cracked in half)
    The radiator coil that sits in front of the radiator, i think its a cooling coil? not sure the proper name but all the cooling fins on it are bent real well.

    Looks like it hit dead center of the car... not sure if theres any damage further down or not.

    had an ex-girlfriend who nailed a possum in a cavelier that basically snapped her radiator in half. she was smart enough to stop right away and didn't totally trash the engine. up on a lift, the techs saw that the oil pan was pretty banged up too. get yer baby up in the air and look at everything.

    Re: Roadkills Revenge

    thanks, i had to pull over immediately, removed the shattered front lip in the pouring rain to keep it from dragging on the ground and did a quick looksie to make sure the oil pan was fine, didnt notice anything off the flashlight inspection, i plan on doing a far more thourough inspection this evening, im hoping its nothing too serious. It doesnt LOOK bad, just ripped the splitter off and cracked the trapezoidal chrome trim. I think the ac condenser should be fine, even though there definately bent, the radiator behind it might not have been so lucky though. we will find out tonight.

    replied to your pm, thanks agkellyboy
