It could only happen to me! After 19 years i hit a badger and killed it last night.By the sound of it i thought it had stoved the front end of the car in,but i will never be as lucky again,the only damage was the plastic engine cover underneath. :shock: :-o :oops:

Someone has to ask - so may as well be me; is the skin on a certain auction site yet? Or are you keeping it as a pressie for her in doors?

Seriously though; hope your ok - and the car .....if I ever hit my name sake we're all in trouble!

Badger are you sure that's all the damage you did, I would double check the bottom of the radiator and any pipe work there
Many drivers have hit them and found to there horror that they can cause more damage than you can see.
I had an extremely lucky escape when I hit 2 deer at once on one of the single track back roads, in my skoda and boy was I lucky they never came through the windscreen, I could have been killed or seriously injured, and thank f all I did was pop out a small plastic trim that has the toe eye behind it and just popped it back in, I had the car checked at the garage and tf it was OK

I think badger is best as a stew, or even boiled down to a soup, now if they'd got one of them deer, that's another thing entirely.

What you need is to put stickers down the side of your cab the same as the RAF did in the second world war.X>X>X> it would be a thing to see.
