Met with Raccoon

Met with Raccoon
Hello, I'm a new owner of 2014 Audi S4, however, recently my front bumper met a raccoon that came out of nowhere during one of the dark nights in PA and unfortunately it messed up my front bumper cover and the radiator that sits on the bottom, not sure what it is yet, but I'm guessing it could be a tranny cooler?
The radiator and ac condenser are all fine, however, I'm in need of the following parts:
1) Front Bumper Cover
2) Front Grille
3) Halogen Grille Cover (passenger side)
4) The lower-fat radiator/cooler (not sure what it is for yet)
If anyone has a good source where I can get these parts at a decent price or have them laying somewhere in the garage and willing to separate from them for a price, I'd really appreciate it.

I believe that's the intercooler that you whacked. Some people have had rocks puncture it as well. Audi did make a plastic cover for it that was included on some models with the supercharged V6 but not on others ... don't understand why. Not sure it would have helped for a raccoon strike though. Good luck with the repair & welcome to the nut house!

True and thanks for responding.
I already got a new IC on the way and after looking for B8 S4 bumper covers + grille and halogen light cover, omg! Talk about expensive.
New OEM Bumper Cover best price I could find for new only primed: $709 + Shipping and no Grille (Go for $400), but I found someone selling beautiful one on Ebay for $175 + 57 Shipping and it had untouched blacked out S4 Grille!!!
OEM Intercooler I found new for: $209 + 32.95 Shipping
Next I need to find bottom cover plate, seen new ones for $90 and found 2x Halogen Grilles for $145 Shipped, but I only need one.
