Guys,

Car in question is a H reg XR3i cab, got some light front end damage and want to source a few bits - bumper, bonnet, drivers side wing and front spot light..to be exact.

Anyone know the best place/forum to try and find them?

Cheers guys, giving it a google now.

Not yet. The car is selling for £400 and ideally I want to get the parts in the right colour

Lucky you blanked that reg number out.

I was all ready to clone the mofo.

Aftermarket panel companies might be your best bet for cheap parts.

Such a lovely looking car. What happened to it?

Phate · 10 Mar 2009 at 16:31

If I got it back into a similar condition would you buy it back?

You know it's better than that bloomin Swift

An idiot on a roundabout is what happened to it. Was brilliant to go out in as well.

Sirrel Squirrel · 10 Mar 2009 at 16:33

Someone in a van didn't give way to me at a roundabout and I clipped the back end of them. So frustrating as the car had been off the road for 6 months with a broken manifold sensor, finally managed to source a replacement and within a week mr white van man comes along

Janesy B · 10 Mar 2009 at 16:38

I'm gutted for you mate, it's a pain because most people will say "so what, get it fixed" but that looked a really lovely original car and now it's been ruined by some tit.
