Its Busted the Clip on the Drivers side

The Impact was on the Passenger side at somewhere under 80km/h

Cracked the $135 Indicator

Cracked all the paint work, the Plastic is also busted underneath the bumper

Kinked the Radiator support, Pushed the 1/4Panel up and caused some kinking all the way up

You came out of it with very small damage compared to some hits I have seen.

When I hit a roo I took out the ds front 1/4, the ds front door came OFF the car and the rear door was all smashed down the bottom. This was all on my EF about 600k's from home with 600k's to go. I bashed out the front 1/4 and picked up the door and slammed it shut and held on to it the rest of the way. When we got there I just welded the door back on. Lasted another 30,000k's before I sold her to the wreckers.

Biggest grey roo I have ever seen and I had to hit the damn thing....

You are very lucky indeed! Kangaroos can cause some serious damage!

Get a VN WITHOUT a roo bar. At least then, if you hit another roo, there should hopefully be one less VN on the road

Bloody roos on the road, I hit one in the mrs Lancer on the Western hwy at Ballan a couple of weeks ago. Only damage I ended up with though was a squashed exhaust, not that there was much of one in the first place.
