Default How much to replace a lower grille insert?

Just got hit by a 6 foot road gator on the hwy and lost the grill insert around the driver foglight.
Can you get these prepainted from Audi?

The primed grills are $45 for the pair, and unfortunately, you have to have them painted.

Default 20.81 each in stock at the dealer plus $40 to paint both at local shop

what really bites tho is on my way back from the dealer picking up the new grille I go over the same stretch of highway and there in the emergency lane I see the road gator right beside my grille! It's too late to stop so I take the next exit and circle around planning to pull off and ****** it. Heading back the other way I see this DOT truck has pulled over and is picking up the gator and my grille! I blow the horn but it's useless, by the time I get to the other exit and back to the spot, the truck, the gator, and MY GRILLE is gone. Jeeze!!

Default What the heck is a road Gator, and how can it remove your grill while you're moving. What kinda

damage does this cause to your car.
