Default Front Valence

I hit a raccoon the other night and it tore up my front valence and the two grills around the fog lights on an '05 A4. I was able to pop the valence on but it looks like garbage and isn't on all the way. Any recommendations on a fix. Looks like OEM parts are a fortune. Any ideas on after market? I don't consider myself even slightly car savvy.

Thanks!!

I was doing 70-80 mph when I hit it. Am I getting the name of the part right? Bottom of the front of the car. Valence? Spoiler? Air Dam?

I don't have a picture. Maybe this afternoon. I just talked to a body shop I had used on a previous car. They ran the VIN and insisted that the part is grey and textured and does not get painted. I told him the part was definitely black and matched the texture and color of the rest of the car. I can't find a picture of an A4 with a grey front spoiler on a black car. The gray one would be half as much as a new painted one, but it sounds pretty ugly.
