My mate broke one of the air vents in my panda the other day (we were late for a football match and he was trying to get his boots on). My question is will I be able to order one from a dealer or is it a breakers yard job. ive noticed the 100hp ones have a differnt colour surround than any others I have seen, although it is realy just the two "flaps" i need. I want to get is sorted ASAP "cos its a bit distracting when doin 112 init"

My tiny little 7 stone OH broke my passenger one the first time she tried to open it!....And she has her own Panda so she knows how they work!

Anyway I told the dealer when it went in for it's first service and they ordered me one in and fitted it under warranty (it is a bit fiddly to get it out)

Took them a couple of days to get it in and then about 10 minutes to fit while I looked at the 500 in the showroom.

Even if you can't get it under warranty I can't see it being particularly expensive to buy from a dealer.

he put his boot on your dash...........

It'll be a dealer job but as TDC said it won't cost a lot to buy, they'll probably have to order one in as it is a different colour to the other pandas, I'd ask about fitting, they may do it free if it can be done quickly enough (not worth the paper work IMO)

There was a Toyota advert a bit like that where the car owner plotted some terrible revenge when his mate put his boot up on the dash.
I feel for you about replacing these plastic bits. If the dealer is a distance away it's a pain that you need a trip to order the part and a trip to collect. Sometimes the parts guys have a problem identifying the part needed and you feel a bit of a tit having broken the partin the first place (see my post about the Panda Cross light unit).

in that case, I'd ring in advance, it shouldn't be a hard part to order, as long as they understand its for a 100hp
