Hi

I recently bumped into the back of a Grande 2008, I was at a junction setting off and only hit at around 3-5mph. This resulted in a tiny crack in the bumper and also cracked the rear mud guard section on the off side. I am trying to find a replacement part but I'm not sure exactly what It's called I'm looking for and pictures online don't show the piece very well. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, after more research I can see it's actually called a wheel arch liner, is this correct? Also any recommendations on where I can buy a replacement?
 
Sounds correct, either a fiat dealer for a new one or contact a breaker on ebay for a second hand one. Postage might be tricky though.
 
Also if you have shoved it enough to bust the bumper and arch liner the impact rail might need replacing and if the arch liner has moved a lot inspect the fuel filler tube (its plastic) and carbon vapour box... The arch liners are very flexible so it must have taken some force to bust it early models came with a 1/4 liner which just stopped the bumper filling up with road crap later models came with a full liner.........

so first you need to know what the car comes with
