Hi there,New member, fairly new multipla owner with an 05 1.9 jtd. Love the car,best driving position i have had and the kids love the space and seats! I have however come across a problem and I'm in desperate need of help. Long story short the front bumper turned out to be poorly attached due to the fasteners having split the bumper at the connecting points on each corner, and upon removing the bumper to rectify this the lower support for the radiator is... Well none existent!!! I've been googling for a replacement but seem to be struggling to find anywhere that stocks this? Halo would be massively appreciated as I want the multi up and running as soon as possible. Cheers

It's a part you'll need to get from a Fiat dealer I'm afraid. Nobody else makes a pattern-part replacement. They're well known to rust through.

Thanks for Thanks reply. I had a worrying feeling that would be the case

Quick update for anyone with the same issue. Called Pentagon Barnsley this morning.... wish I hadn't! £127.92..... short and curlys have been truly grabbed!

Try Shop4Parts (just google it). They do mail order. There is also a discount code that you can use if you donate to the forum. You may well find that the cost of the donation + the postage + the part from S4P comes out less than buying from your local dealer - and you won't have to drive anywhere to get it either.

The other approach is eBay. There's a place in Italy listing the support for €50 (new) but no postage to UK listed. Might be worth a quick message to them to see if they'd do it.

You'll need to check that that part is the correct one for the facelifted Multipla though (Which I assume yours is on an 05 plate?). I don't have much to do with them so can't help there.

Lastly, you may get lucky with DA Motors in Wickford, Essex (google is your friend again). They are specialist Fiat breakers and always have Multiplas in. They do mail order. That would be a second hand part though so may not be in good nick.

Whatever you do, give the replacement one a good couple of coats of decent paint before you fit it. It will stave off the rust bugs.
