Default Help me diagnose this damage! (not 56K friendly)

Last weekend while driving to Michigan, my girlfriend and I hit what appeared to be a fox, at 80mph. I'm trying to determine what sort of damage and repairs we'll be looking at, before we take the car to the shop. Thoughts? I'm particularly interested in these to metal lines which are bent, in front of the radiator, as well as the loose wire & plug which appear to go along with it.

2002 A4 1.8t Quattro, Tiptronic w/ Sport Package

Thanks in advance...

Default I'm not familiar w/ the new B6 A4...

I hope the radiator is not dmg. Otherwise it'd be big $$$. That plug thing looks like the fog light to me, but I could be wrong.

I'd go to different shops and get estimates from them.

Not sure about the metal lines - the wire is the outside temp gauge - shouldn't be too bad...!

we hit it so fast, the thing didn't have time to start spouting guts &amp; blood before we were past it. poor little guy though - at least he never knew what hit him.
