Hit a Deer on my way home :( What do I upgrade too????

[06B7audiA4]

I will post a pic in the a.m. But unfortunetely on my way home tonight a deer decided to challenge my A4 and he flew high into the sky.lol I hit him around 35 I would say and he damaged my hood and grill.

Bottomline: Hood is completely bent and painted is already chipped throughout. The grill is also broken completely. Any ideas of what I should upgrade to?

Current Pic of the Car...My radiator might be leaking but I just hear AIR leaking, no fluid on the ground.

Damn that sucks!! sorry to hear bro!! I kinda like the set up you have now..only thing i would change on your front is to paint it black but thats all...what lip is that anyway??

[p1nk50ck]

i'm sorry to hear that. it sounds like you'll have a little bit of work to do with your car, but I hope you're okay. what happened to the deer? is it dead on impact? did it get up and run away?

Im thinkin black grill, with painted filler to match exterior of the car, or Black Grill with Painted black filler...of course keep the chrome strips for both..

Hood Im thinkin carbon fiber w/ sum exterior paint...My hood needed new paint and had sum dings and dents already

Carbon Fiber grill and hood.

I have yet to see anyone buy that carbon fiber grill, and pics of it installed.. :/

um...that's probably your FMIC. when you get the bumper off, take a real close look at it and see if you notice any damage. if you're lucky, it's maybe just a loose hose, but if that overgrown squirrel shattered your grille, then it probably pushed a few chunks of that into your FMIC.

I hit a deer and had $17,000 in damage. I did the DTM Front bumper.

This is what it looks like:

Are you the guy I met at ICS like two months ago? I had the 3.0 DG B6, I remember your lambo rims.

[06B7audiA4]

Update

Car is being looked at this afternoon, I inspected all the parts today myself...My bumper, FMIC, Fog Lamps, Headlamps, are all perfectly fine..Like I said, the deer was on the upper region of the car, so He destroyed the top part of my grill and my hood, esp where it starts to curve over (that is completely bent in). Im lucky I can still open my hood and close it with some work...But luckily its only hood and grill as of now..
Ps. Started her this morning, Sounds fine, No leaking air, it was coming from the AC sensor I beleive, still drivable..

[Frey7190]

Hey 06B7audia4, did your frame bend at all?? I was on the 405 at like 11pm and a deer hit the car and as the insurance puts it "nicked the frame" how's yours??

[06B7audiA4]

The whole top of the grill is bent in and hood is bent....hard to see in photo :/

That's better than what I was expecting. I thought it would have been more along the lines of my friend's GLI:

[Goped220]

Charlescrs6, that was me at ICS Performance. I remember you. What’s going on?

[juggernaut201]

Nothin man, trying to find some mod money. ICS tried to flash me with their APR tune, then I told them APR didn't make a tune for the 3.0 haha. I think I'm gonna do the neuspeed exhaust around xmas. What about you?

[Goped220]

nice man. I am doing a custom turbo kit for my car.

[06B7audiA4]

Update
Headlamps are def busted and will need replacement..

So far. Grill, Hood, AC Cooler, and Headlamps will need to be replaced...Hopefully the bumper will also be cracked when we remove it then I can just change the whole front end...

Which turbo are you going with? Are you having ICS do it or are you going at it yourself?

[Goped220]

( VTG ) Variable Turbine Geometry. The Turbo Charger has a lager compressor and a turbine optimized for flow. The enlarged compressor ensures for higher boost pressure, and the turbine
housing improves the flow resistance.

I am doing it all myself!

I have a Eurogear Deval RS4 Front Bumper with Fog Light Mounting and Custom Grills for sale. It has been prepped and painted, alot of prep work to make it perfect all you would need to do is have it resprayed black. PM if interested.
