Default Need Fiesta panels . . .

Hello fellow Fordies,
I'm usually on the Focus site but today I need your help.
Beloved Daughter has just stopped a bit too late and gone under a ute.
No structure damage just needs a bonnet, both headlights, grill, and front bumper. . . . hurmph!

The car is a Silver 2006 WQ 2-door Fiesta.

Any suggestions? :ticking:

Fredo

if it has done the whole front end as it sounds it will probably have more damage than you have first seen. radiator support panel will be more than likely pushed back or down. might be good to check the squareness of the engine bay just to be sure or take the car to a local panel beater. i know that there is a bit of space under the bar but best to be safe.

Yep,
I hear Mate - Ta.
Think we got really lucky.
The car drives like nothing happened, no leaks, no funny noises.
Will get it to a panel beater this week.
Thanks again.

You would know if the Radiator support was damaged easily. Its plastic and drops out with even the smallest amount of damage

Best to get it checked out as theres a whole lot of stuff behind the bumper that can get snapped/cracked etc etc Hopefully theres no radiator/aircon related damage.
