....silly moment exiting a roundabout. Car in front didn't pull off, unfortunatelly!
....I need (S1 car):
-front bumper (but no foglights needed) - (S2 also possibly, incl fogs)
-front nose conne, strictly S1
-2x headlights
Both are "emerald green pearlescent" but don't really mind, any color will do.
Anybody local to me possibly? (Glasgow)
thanks
George
ps. thank God this one is only insured 3rd party so, at least, I don't have to worry about it being written off....

Oops, bad luck there jorgy. Any damage to the other car that you need to pay for?

Hi dieselman, the other was a Peugeot 407 that will need a bumper and numberplate, insurance will take care of, so curious what will happen to my premium. Can't remember at the mo. if it's protected or not... 13 years no claims...
This XM must be getting used by now of diving under other vehicles (see the bonnet) !!!
Lucky that the brand new sidelights are safe and sound (£27 each GSF!)...All the lights are working actually...can/t believe the headlights' plastic lenses are sooo yellowish, could it be they were made in such a tint????
cheers

Indeed I do see the bonnet, it looks a bit bucked as well as dented. Well the bonnet needed doing anyway so look at this as an opportunity to do that as well.
I know of two S1 that would have the bits but neither is the correct colour, but there is an outside chance of one of the people scrapping an S2 as well, which might just be the correct colour for the bonnet.
One S1 is grey and there are some micro cracks in the nose-cone just next to the headlamp, which would fill and paint Ok, the other is green ERTM but AFAIK the nose and bumper are undamaged, though the car has it's nose on the floor.
iirc your colour is ERYC
The problem is both are midlands cars and neither would post.

thanks for the leads Will,
Yes, the bonnet dents and bucks came with the car, and indeed it was in the plan to sort it...I'm actually getting a bonnet from robertsmart, should be with me tomorrow! Not even if I had planned it....!
There are 3 S2s breaking on ebay but 2 of them have headlight washers which I don't have...and 2 again are from WHM so wil be ridiculously expensive.
I'll keep a note of your donors Will in case I can't source anything nearer.
Thank god I strategically kept the V6 on the road so can be using that till the green one is sorted...
cheers
