you just keep your car, nothing will happen to your car at all.

o right ok then will they come out and check it over?

 

[rallycinq]

You might get some free bits, and if they don't fit, maybe too big or something you can always flog them on ebay.

yep mate will update everyone tomoz when i ring bodyshop

 

[gazzaman2k]

give me your car for free, ill get it on my mates jig and then flog it for total proffit

 

[AppleSei]

i would expect any bodyshop to say 'yes we will repair it for x amount but its probably not worth it and easier to scrap it or break it'

 

[nmrmak]

you don't reckon they'd do it for free?

 

[newfiatowner1]

Economically, it's a no-no. I see, radiator, front panel (which is actually 4 panels), outer wing, at least one inner wing (which probably means the main structural horn that side is damaged), headlamps, bonnet. Plus paint.

You can get all the bolt on stuff from a scrappy, but you've then got to sort the non-bolt on stuff out. Essentially, if you can't weld, forget it.

Personally, as the "horns" form part of the deformable structure, I'd not be happy with a car that had been pulled straight on a chassis jig -- FIAT recommend the welding in of new panels..........

oh dear what a shame :doh:. Sorry but not sympathetic.

 

[newfiatowner1]

Had body craft come and today its been fixed but at a price ,they want £400 to do all the labour and spray the front end up again.so need to get all the parts first.

[newfiatowner1]

if anyone nos a cheaper garage or anyone that want to earn some money let me no.Need slam pannel anyone no best place to buy new one

 

[fingers99]

Fluffy the Impaler will probably be able to get one -- or try your local factor. As I said, it'll be more than that panel of the job is to be done correctly.

 

[newfiatowner1]

do you no if the front pannel comes in to diff parts or is it just one?is this what i need?

[fingers99]

That's 3 of the parts you need. There is also the rear section to the main beam thing which is probzably damaged too.

 

[newfiatowner1]

does that attach to the front pannel?any idea where i can get one of those from or what they are called
