Hi,
I figure that this piece is called a 'slam panel' but just wanted to confirm. It holds up the front bumper exterior panel and the small plastics bits were broken off (see the yellow arrows). Can anyone confirm that this is the piece?

Can this part be taken from any other Punto's? This is a 2014 Fiat Punto Jet Black 2. I'm located in Oxfordshire.

Any ideas how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks for your help,
Conrad

Hi Charlie,
if I can find a second hand at a good price, then replace would be fine. But whatever is cheaper. :)

Thanks for your help,

Hi,
just thought I should close this thread. In the end, I wasn't able to find a used part to replace the broken pieces on the panel. Instead, I fixed the broken plastic with 'plastic welding' techniques. Basically took a soldering iron and re-attached the pieces.

I'll let you know how it holds. But luckily all the pieces were still found and I was able to reconstruct the broken parts. For now, looks pretty solid.


Have a great day,
Conrad
