Took my Cinq on a 700 + mile journey to France at the weekend to see my Mother in law for xmas visit with my good lady wife .. The lil Cinq ws doing so well and a joy to drive all those miles. Things went a little wrong when we were upon the last slip lane off of the french motorway leading to the ferry terminal and lost it due to some kind soul leaving a puddle of what looked like I suspect to be Diesel :( Cinq lost grip as i rounded the bend and I spun into the side Barrier :( .. managed to slow her down a bit before impact.. took a few seconds to get moving again due to totally no grip on the road ,when got to the terminal I informed a guy about the spill on the road and hope he informed the relevant authorities to get it sorted before someone came a real cropper with it! Luckily no other vehicles were involved and the barrier intact and above all nobody hurt but my drivers wing is now a little crunched :bang: So my fellow Cinq owners do you have or know anyone with a Drivers wing in ok condition pref in Broom yellow ?? also my indicator got cracked and bumper scuffed however the bumper might polish out :).. I am based In Bedford uk

Black box mate, How straight is the wing ? what would ya like for it ... I may travel for an ok one :) oh and is it Broom yellow ? ;) cheers

Yep it's broom yellow broke a whole car from memory it's fairly straight with a few minor dinks and minor scratches might need minor straightening on the lugs and where it goes onto the body on the side erm price 15 with indicator as well can even help fit if you bring some body sealant also have tons of other parts as well if pm me your email address and I'll take a picture of it.

Just had a look at it there's a fair size dent where it's by the door and a small dink at the front rest has stone chips peppered a small bit of lacquer peel main point is rust the someone decided not to refit the plastic wheel arches on this car so mud has sat on the back meaning the paint is starting to bubble and flake so in other words the wing is in poor condition
