Default Roo smashed my front Bumper

Hey everyone, my new/old AU XR8 had a smash with a big kangaroo on the weekend, smashed the front bumper up and ripped out guards from front wheels and everything.... It was on the highway and i hit it doing like 110km/h

One question, infront of the front left wheel is a little black box connected to like a little breather hose, lights and some cords that go to the engine.... Does anyone know wat this little black box is?

Anyhelp would be great!

Sounds like the carbon canister. Its part of the emissions control gear.

Correct, when it gets repaired wrap it up in something so it will stop the tick : aswell
