Fiat Breakers in the NW

[Helz]

I've tried a search and it's pulled up just about every thread soooooooo, I need some names and numbers of Fiat breakers yards in the North of England or South of Scotland. Have tried the local places to no avail

Tried them too Arc but thak you for trying so hard Think I may have to look further afield! I'm after a front bumper with foglights (I know I need to mess with electronics inside but I have someone who will do this) to fit my car and would prefer not to pay Fiat new prices. If anyone knows of any near them I am happy to collect or pay for a courier.

i'll give step dad a ring later, he might know of somewhere - penrith area

I've tried everywhere in the Yellow Pages That's why I'm trying a million miles away. I think it's going to be one of these mahoosive places darn sarf that will send it up to me (still cheaper than new mind!).

May be a little more expensive but they search the scrappers for you and get them to email quotes to you whislt you sit back and wait )

Cheers Wimmy I tried that East Lancs one but they only had new ones which are a similar price to what I can get up here

I keep having a look in my local scrappys for ya Helz.. not found one yet. Will any of the Marea bumpers fit?

 

[Helz]

Thanks Hellcat, really appreciated! No I think the Marea and HGT ones are too wide but someone Brava/o-minded correct me if I'm incorrect on that

what part are you after helz try these

based in york

 

[Hellcat]

She's after a HLX or ELX Brava/o front bumper. ie the one with the foglights.

Unfortunatly for her these cars are surviving well, and you stand as much chance of finding one in a scrappy as you do of having your lost wallet handed into the police in deepest darkest Sheffield..

Got one on it's way from Salvo via Parts Gateway. I'm paying more than I would like (£100 when you add in delivery and vat) but still a lot cheaper than buying new (cheapest £130, before delivery and so on) and it should be in my little hands tomorow. In the very rare case that anyone else wants one of these, Salvo have another. Like you sa Hellcat, they are rarer than hens teeth!

 

[Helz]

Got it today, in good condition, still at work though as I couldn't fit both that and the spoiler in the car at the same time! So nice one Salvo Just need to measure up and ensure all is OK then it's off to the bodyshop we go
