As promised, here are some pics of the damage done after hitting a Fox on the Autobahn at speed. I never found the fox afterwards, but the police and fire dept did. After seeing the damage in daylight, I am starting to think that this fox may have stayed in 1 piece as it traveled thru the bumper (hence why there is no blood). Currently the car is sitting in a tow yard waiting for an insurance adjuster to view it on Monday. I just caught them before they closed and had to hurry taking pics because I had a taxi waiting on me.
1. Full shot, the area of the bumper right below the tow hook is where we (my friend who was traveling with me at the time and I) believe the main point of impact occurred. The fox was traveling from left to right across the road, so its upper body would have wet thru the brake cooling duct and its lower body would have gone thru the FMIC.

2. Close up of the brake duct and everything the fox broke as he went thru it.

3. Driver's side faired a lot better, but the lip is toast.

4. Another full view. In this shot you can see the driver's side brake cooling duct and how its supposed to look.

In the first and last shots, you can see what looks like the tape that held the front lip on under the center part of the bumper. That isnt all tape, there was still CF attached to the tape on the bumper. Meaning, the tape was actually stronger than the lip itself.
