gutted, hit a fox last night doing about 80. done the bottom of the bumper, smashed my fog light to pieces and the inner arch, woke up this morning and noticed that where i hit it and it pushed the bumper back its dented the wing, so so sad,

futhamucka, shame mate, at least it's just surface dammage and you didn't panic and fly off the road,
you should be able to get most parts from people on here, and get her back on the road in no time

bad luck mate,look on the bright side though, at least it wasnt a sheep or a cow though.they cause some serious damage!

Did a similar thing a year ago in my 316i. Hit a deer at about 60. Needed a new door, headlights, grille. Its a pain in the ass but theres nothing you can do about it, they just jump out infront of you. You can get things you fix inside your grille or something thats ultrasonic and scares off animals so they wont jump out infront of you!

Also hit a deer in my old Polo Coupe at 50mph, it was the same day I got my first car insured
Didnt have time to take my foot fully off the throttle let alone hit the brake!!
The insurers would of wrote it off, but luckily there was a good front end donor in the local yard

what about the fox

fox is done at 80

Kev, sorry to hear about your accident mate. It always sucks big time when something like this happens. Hopefully you'll be able to sort everything out soon and your car will look it's best again.

About 4 months ago I hit a huge dear at 80. I had a mint 318 at the time which I sold after the accident. It was one big animal and caused a lot of demage. I'll show you some pics

holy shit looks like you hit a rhyno

I hit a pheasant at 70 and the poor little bastard made a right mess of the lower valence and the oil cooler started leaking in a big way (perhaps coincidence). It was nothing like your accident with the deer though Gary, That must have been an absolutely horrible experience.

I hit 2 deer in my S4 last weekend. Confirmed as a write off, with £3700 of damage.

Looks like it was trying to get through the windscreen

Gutted mate, I think as you know i'm on the lookout for one of these, quite a rare car too. What a waste, I could think of much better things to hit, such as big brother contestants and tony blair.

Not suprised at the estimate at all, there is a lot of damage there.

you'd be suprised how much damage an animal can do..

not in the same league as the deers above but a bunny rabbit bent my front valance when i hit it @55.. Destroyed my Reiger lip also

HaHa, I remember my ex father-in-law using that as an excuse when he left a country pub after a "lock-in" at 3 in the morning! "Honestly...... hic!, the deer jumped out in front of me, I swerved to avoid it and ended up in a ditch!"

where bouts do you guys drive tohit deers and other large animals

i once had a dear jump over the hood of my old e21 and i hit its rear foot made a nasty dent. but nothing as bad as any of this. ouch!!!!
