General Whoops - I can't reverse

[pritch]

After years of driving and never hitting anything or anyone, yesterday I managed to back my poor Stilo into a fence post.

Not very hard - but enough to crack the clear cover on the right offside light cluster, push the bumper in a tiny bit, and put a very small dent right at the back of the rear quarter where all three meet.

Question - do I have to change the whole light cluster, or can I just get a new cover?

Question - anyone changed a rear bumper? Mine was already cracked when I bought it, and I'm wondering about just changing it. Cost??

Also does anyone else suffer from the interior lights not coming on when you open the doors? Mine's a 3 door by the way. My driver's side door I can only get to work now if I really flick the inner handle.

Cheers

The whole light cluster will have to be changed as it's a single unit - easy job, should take no more than 10mins.

Ebay has a selection of 5 door O/S clusters at the mo, these are the most reasonable:

5_DOOR - £40 (for pair/used)
5_DOOR - £35 (drivers side only/used)

Or try either of these for new replacement 3 door clusters:

As for your bumper, SHOP4PARTS is your best bet (again if you can't find anything on ebay):

Thanks for the links - ouch £50+ then. And I've just forked out for road tax

Stilo is nice in so many ways but it does seem to be costing me a fortune, only getting 34 to the gallon lately and I'm mostly out of town.

I keep thinking about a diesel Panda...
