Roe deer has altered the front of my S4

Post by jerrys4 » Fri Sep 26, 2014 6:00 pm

After a roe deer jumped out in front of my car last night, I am now looking for a drivers side headlight (xenon), a bonnet and a black optic grill. Just wondering if anyone on here, has any of these items lying around.

Devastated! Priced the parts from audi, £1100. £900 insurance excess:mad::cry: But I can source the bonnet for 150 and the headlight for 250 through euro car parts, also going to try a gloss black honeycomb grill for 200. So looking forward to seeing that fitted :cool:

Damn deer, good job you weren't going faster or it would have been really bad! I always worry about this happening when I'm going for a blast, I've been lucky so far.

Not good, but could have been worse :

Bonnet can be second hand - you'll be having it sprayed to match

Would advise against paying Eurocarparts that kind of money for the headlight and grille unless the parts are Audi stamped. Maybe worth trying TPS or Stoke Audi - plus if you are very nicely Stoke might be able to give you a discount on the two combined. They have a good link with 246 and Audi SRS. Looks like you'll need a new S4 badge also

That's not good, hope you get it sorted okay but maybe a good excuse to fit facelift RS4 front if you have additional funds to cover replica bumper, a second headlight and front wings?

For the headlight, find a used non xenon headlamp.

Heat the old lens off for 10 mins in the oven, remove, clean up inside and redo.

PM me for info and I can talk you through.

If you have any quieries for interior or exterior LED's then get in touch.

Cant quite stretch to full RS4 re-fit, but have gloss black RS4 honeycomb grill. so cant wait to see how it all looks once I get round to having the new bonnet painted and fitting the grill and light.

That's quality. I was wondering if that was possible, looking at it.
Cheers for that, will be in touch when I eventually get round to getting another light.

A little bit of progress.
Amazed at the amount of leaves and crap in behind the bumper.
Bonnet and light still to be replaced, managed to straighten bonnet to an acceptable level until the replacement one is painted.
Also need to modify the S4 badge to fit the gloss black honey comb.

That bonnet would repair, better than having a new bonnet painted edge to edge, there could be match issues!
