Can someone help me, I ave just reversed into my wife car and hit the bumper at the front with my towbar, can anyone tell me if I will have to buy a full bumper or does it split into sections, also any advice on a parts number and where to get one would be much appreciated thanks, you will get me out of the dog house

That is epic dog house, you should get a pic up of the damage, so we can see how bad it is.

which bit is damaged?

this thread is useless without pics:

Sorry that your first post is made in distress. Hope the following helps you get everything sorted.

It's a one-piece bumper with a few added sub-panels.

If you want to use genuine FIAT parts, Shop4Parts is a good place to start looking & get an idea as to cost:

Pattern parts can be had, obviously they are considerably cheaper but I have no idea of their quality; for example:

Obviously whichever option you choose will need painting to match your car.

Would this be a good opportunity to get an abarth syle front bumper - saw one recently that looked really good ? I noticed that on the USA edition 500s they come with a different bumper on Sport model halfway between the standard one and the Abarth. The car with the tow bar - is this a 500 as well ?

Smart repaire might be an option. I have had a split bumper repaired.
