    Roadkills Revenge

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Last night, i hit a suicidal 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. Its the piece that slips in prior to the radiator but sits virtually flush with it.

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

    Re: Roadkills Revenge

    I think you're talking about the AC condenser that sits flush with the radiator.

    I think I saw it today while driving back to Ashburn. I could be wrong, but it look like you f**king decapitated its head and than turned around and put a shotgun THROUGH his ass and blew out his internals.

    If so, I feel for your damages. Even though I think your front spoiler absorbed 85% of the hit, I would suggest looking at your radiator for any type of cracks or shifting...
