General crashed my car what to do :(

[Emm]

i did but went into back of him. the driver in front wife is pregent so he was looking after her the woman

blimy hope she n bump was ok
If i was in this situ, id break the cinq and use the proceeds to buy another

 

[Pep0]

as you seem to have hit a car with a tow bar I'd be worried that the crankcase or the head to manifold attechments might be damaged did the engine run ok afterwards?

Maybe slam panel backing plate?

Here's one I dismantled earlier................

backing

The above is the "plate".

Just to give you some idea of the inner wing and horn.

 

[newfiatowner1]

i need both bet you cnt by the other one though or can you any idea where

 

[fingers99]

Always worthwhile ringing Big Mick -- aka Fluffy the Impaler -- on 01332 345869. You'll find one at a scrappy, but there are at least 100 spot welds to drill and ease apart.

 

[newfiatowner1]

any idea where the reset button is on the cinque?

 

[fingers99]

I think it's dead centre, on the floor, behind the cup holder thingy (engine end of passenger compartment).

 

[newfiatowner1]

right will have alook,now think found what i need this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220323445146&_trkparms=tab=Watching
thats all i need i think please tell me if i need more but think thats the complete front pannel

 

[fingers99]

I think those are both the front. The eBay one has the headlamp bits in place, so is better value.

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

If the two cars in front collided before you hit the 2nd car then you can claim they closed the gate on you, maybe, and try claiming on the 2nd cars insurance company.

Nope. Person at back pays all

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

Nope, as you're unable to claim due to being TPTF

"I think those are both the front. The eBay one has the headlamp bits in place, so is better value."
( there are to pannels on the front the one off ebay and the other smaller one) can anyone confirm that)

 

[rossward]

you no what i think you would maybe be better just buying a full car from ebay lol you would prob get one for £400

my pal niel has a 52 plate for sale at £1300 on ebay under name funkiefunkies in dunfermline fife scotland cheek out e-bay


good luck anyway mate

 

[newfiatowner1]

took the rad off now redi to go in the garage.any idea any one if the front pannel comes in to bits or one.

 

[fingers99]

You can tell that the main, horizontal, section is the same because it has the holes in it (compare to the pics I posted). The eBay one has the headlamp mounts ready attached.

In either case you need the rear section (unless it's undamaged) as this completes the box section.

 

[newfiatowner1]

work is being done

 

[fingers99]

It's 2 bits, front and back, as you can see very clearly from my photos. The rear bit is attached (mainly) to extensions of the "horns" by spot welds, and the front section (the one with the holes) is spot welded to that. Obviously, you couldn't spot weld the rear section to the horns if the panel was mysteriously pre-assembled.

Suggest you remove the damaged wing(s) so you can better assess the damage to the inner wings and horns. Just undo all the screws, remove the wheels and wheelarch sheilds and use some heat on the back where the wings are usually sikkaflexed in place.

 

[newfiatowner1]

the damaged wing is removed the other is fine ,waiting on getting a donna car now though dont no whats happening with chap
