New Barchetta rear bumper after being driven into!!!!!

Hi folks,
Just getting ready to sell the B when along comes a lovely driver who goes straight in the back of the car!! Luckily all insured etc and she gave her details willingly but does anyone know where to get a new rear bumper (2004 model) and a good paint job. It's only cracked it but a patch job will not do. Here's hoping for a quick response.
Many thanks,
Tim

Re: New Barchetta rear bumper after being driven into!!!!!

I would look for local recommended body shops can't see you driving all the way up here to paint a bumper. Re the bumper itself I would only reccomend an original fiat one whether it be new or used. So try the links page Barchetta parts.com etc or ebay (but FFS don't buy a fibreglass one)

NOT THESE THEY ARE CRAP...

Just incase you think they are OEM

Man alive what is going on - we are becoming road fodder!

Sorry to hear the news but you should re-think selling her, you will only live to regret it!!

Re: New Barchetta rear bumper after being driven into!!!!!

Just on the phone to KC while driving to my MRI and some f****** idiot in a Polish reg'd car came hammering around the corner on my side of the road - I think he was disoriented and thought that he was back in Poland! Pleased to report that my ABS works and despite hitting the curb did not damage the tyre or wheel..............

My wife did that years ago. Nobody thought there was any damage until a front tyre wore out very badly (and very quckly ) on one side. The very minor knock on the car had bu**ered the tracking.
