Last May I hit TWO Roe deer in my Roadster at about 50mph in Glenlivet. They jumped out together (I think they were holding hands). One went over the car and one under. (Both died). I needed a new nearside wing, cowl, radiator, bumper,headlight, driving lights etc. Plus the offside wing needed a repaint as there was cracking behind the headlight. No damage to the chassis apart from bending of bumper irons. Luckily they were Roe Deer rather than red deer. If they had been red we would probably gone under them and they would have come through the windscreen. We were not hurt, just shocked. The whole thing was very competently repaired by my local dealer (Revolutions ) and now looks as good as new. There was concern that we would not be able to get a new wing due to availability from the factory the fallback was that they would beat it all out. New wing was available so no issue in the end. It all worked out in the end but not an experience I want to repeat. My insurance paid with no quibble (£100 excess) but my renewal just came in and they have increased the premium by 50% so needless to say I have gone elsewhere this year.
Good luck
