Good place for TD5 body panels
« on: September 21, 2006, 19:27:13 »
SWMBO has today had an altercation with a bollard, which won, so now I'm in need of a new o/s wing, o/s front bumper section with spotlight fitting and a new front centre bumper section.

Anybody got any recommendations on where to get them and approximate cost.

Can these be fitted by an incompetent DIYer or should I go to a garage????

Don't know about the wing, but a TD5 bumper is fairly straightforward to fit.  

Only, you do realise they are one piece, not n/s, middle and o/s as you seem to suggest?  Unless of course it changed for the facelift version, in which case I'm talking rubbish . . .  :?

Cheers for the info SWMBO has had a quote for £600 + the dreaded, from landrover, then theres fitting and painting to pay on top.

So now off to the local bodyshop for a quote.

Helen well spotted.

Equicar 4x4 breakers are really good for late model parts, they're in Wolverhampton - but will ship bits all over the place.

Cheers All for the info.

Either way it's going to cost £1200 so the bollard cruncher as decide to go the insurance route.
