General Front grill

[dylan.gibson]

As mentioned in previous post have just got a Marea 155ELX (once again wow!) in metalic lime green (don't know what the Fiat official colour name is?). There are a few nicks and scratches in the bodywork (I am fine with this as I only paid £2.6k). I have two questions:
1) The guy that owned it before me has done a really bad job of polishing it and the front grill plastic is like a metalic grey - Is this the correct colour or is it where he has got polish on it?
2) The rear bumper has a slight crack in one corner (right through so the plastic is split) - What is the best way to go about fixing it, how much is a replacement new/used?

Thanks in advance for your help

The small front grill is a metallic grey on quite a few models, so is prob correct on yours.

You can get the plastic welded, usually £50 - £100. Some firms will come and do it at your door.
Not sure exactly where you are but if you do a search for - plastic bumper repair weld - it should bring up a few firms in your area.

Do you know of any good spare part sites? Or do you have an idea of how much a new one would be / does the bumper from a brava fit?[?]

This is quite a good site for standard parts. http://www.bodyshopwarehouse.co.uk/

Not sure about the Brava bumper, they have different part numbers.

So does the Bravo/a bumper fit a marea?

Wow... Old thread!

Only Bravo HGT bumpers will fit properly. The standard (upto HLX/ELX) are not wide enough.
