Guys and girls, i have some bad news. Last night in the rain along a country lane, i had a little prang to the front of my car drivers side!!!! I'm trying to source some parts for example off ebay, for:

Front Bumper - including lower and upper grille
Driver Side Headlight
Bonnet
Coolant Radiator

Does anyone have any parts for sale on Ebay or just generally preferably in Performance Blue, to save me the cost of a spray job.

A 'little' prang? and you're looking for all that? what you hit a tree!?

I hope you get in touch with parts or something...

Driving along a road i didnt know outside of Pluckley, Kent was going about 40 at the time national speed limit road, and came up to a bend in a road (the bend being a complete 90 degree angle). The rear end slid out and scraped drivers side front bumper along a bricked wall, not good!!!! Plus it was raining and my rear tyres were due to be replaced very soon!!!

I'll try ford parts thanks. I'm open too all options right now.

Well the wings and bumper are just bolt on parts so you could get them sprayed up and fit them once painted.

Ford's your best bet for getting the parts

try a scrappy, a rear ended car would be perfect!

...ouch good luck getting it sorted with

At least you're alright - thats the main thing, cars get replacement parts and don't hurt :

i have a spare lower grille that i have for sale.
its just taking up room in my flat.

just had a nightmare sourcing the same parts for mine. Held out and got a bumper with grills from fleabay for 190.

There's a few blue ST's being broken on eBay also someone on fiestastoc.com is braking there car may be worth a try or uk fiesta network

Sorry to hear about your crash, but at least you were ok which is the main thing.

I know this one was at driving speed, but you'd be surprised at the damage that can be done in a minor crash. When I had my own accident a few years back I hit someone from behind at a junction at no more than 5-10 mph and needed a new front bumper, one new headlight and foglight, new washer bottle, a new alloy from where I scuffed it against the kerb, and one of the front wings pulled out.

Agreed! You only have to sneeze on one of the panels and your looking for a body shop.

my old mk3 fiesta 1.3 was a tank compared. I aqua-planed into a wall head on, bounced off and somehow only damaged the wing... So the would of been written off hmm?

The wind could damage a front bumper on the honestly there so flimsy

My mate had a focus and hit an M5 at 10mph did 3k worth of damage

ye but thats the whole point of cars now, crumple zones, so them being wrecked is not necesarily good, but it saves your life

MStolton, do you have ESP or not and if so, did it kick in?... just wondering.

It does look good! But this is autoexpress....

Thanks for your comments guys! I would upload a pic but the image uploader isnt working for me?!

I managed to source some parts quite cheaply. Ive got a new bonnet (unsprayed) £40, front bumper with fogs and lower grille (sprayed) £200, headlight £45, numberplate £15 lol. Unfortunately looking under the bonnet closely, i noitced the air conditining condenser which sits behind the cross member (crash bar) has been bent in the middle from the impact of the bumper. Hopefully the radiator behind is undamaged!! Wont know til its stripped down.

The night I crashed, the engine wouldnt start and i thought the damage might have been alot worse! Luckily I had my buddy next to me who is a Ford mechanic, and managed to get the engine running by pressing a reset button behind the glove box near to the fuse box!! The car had gone into a safe mode shutting everything down, so as it didnt catch on fire. Nice to know that worked!!! Just a shame i had to drive into a wall to find out!!!

Good to hear you got your parts you doing all the work yourself?

And that new puma looks like a mondeo coupe version please

Guys, if a bumper has been fully sprayed in one colour, a body shop could respray in another colour pretty easily?!
