Damage after hitting a fox!

Unfortunately I hit a fox recently at some speed which has caused some damage to the underside of the car! I have attached a couple of photos which show the state of the car underneath. It has a fair bit of blood and excrement under there which really smells foul!

 

My question is (yes I have no technical knowledge at all!) does it look like I will have to order a new part, i.e. the undercar protection that is hanging off? If so, does anyone know where I can get one?

 

Also, I am concerned that the car is now going to smell funky for a long time!

 

On the plus side, as it ruined my front bumper I have now got a Whifbitz front ready to go on, which I am exicited about as it is one of my favorite bumpers.

 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I think I will take it off, at least to get to the bodyshop then see what it looks like when it is up on a ramp.

 

Whilst I have this thread open, does anyone know a rough figure for getting the following done?

 

Spray and fit Front Bumper

Fit veilside rear spats

 

Cheers,

I am actually happy that I was going pretty quick, as when I got out to see what I hit, the fox must have died quickly, which is good in a way. I don't know what I would have done if it had still been alive..... I wouldn't want to let it suffer, but wouldn't want to kill it either!

 

Does anyone have a part-number for this under car protection, as I may as well get it fixed whilst I am having the bodywork done?
