Default Had a little "run in" with 3 construction drums..Anyone has a driver side fog light grill for 02 C5

Well, I took a fast right trun on to a VERY familiar road that opens into 3 lanes. Well, much to my surprise at 11:30 last night, they has closed of 2 of the three lanes, I was going way to fast to recover. Of course as soon as I got on the brakes, the rear came around (H sport sways) and I did get it back together but by then I was hard on brakes headed for the Orange contrustion drums they use to partition the road. I took out 3 before stopping. The front bumper has a few smudges that can be buffed out by a buffer. No paint damage or scratches but the driver side for lamp grille came off and was run over by another car by the time I recovered it.
So, anyone has an extra fog lamp grille for the 02-04 C5 3.0/2.7 front bumper?
Here are the kind of "drums" I ran into..

Default lol..yeah..I felt like an idiot standing in the middle of nowhere at night looking for my grille

in my defence, the road contruction wasnt marked, the drums/cones were visible from anywhere I was coming from..BUT, thats what I get for "playing" on the street..no one's fault but mine..100%

Default Almost did that with some snow. It was on a six lane highway. The plows plowed ...

the three lanes on my side, but not all the way to the light in the third lane. And of course, I happened to be in the third lane Luckily I noticed and moved over to the left to avoid the snow pile at the intersection. Not the kind of thing you want to see at night when you're doing 55.....
