I rear ended someone tonight on my way home. Still trying to understand what happened. Lady braked really hard, slid almost sideways, regained control. I'm worried about getting rear ended my self braking and letting off. Then I think all is well there's no one stopped in front of her but she continues to brake hard to a full stop. To late for me to go any where. I need help for parts. I have to much time, money and love into this car to let it get totaled. Any one have any Euro connections? Front bumper is toast. I think maybe the air dam can be saved. The radiator support and hood are fine. Need a nose piece for sure. Thanks for your help as always.

You have 2 choices depending on the damage as far as new goes. Item #2, not too bad or item#8...OUCH!!!

$233.25 for a dented and dinged used one. :(

I will sell a new factory one for a 125 more delivered to most locations. I'll even include a used but tested non rusted horn. You are on your own for the chicken dinner

Go for Todd's (alpinacsi) new one. It'll cost you less in the end.

Still waiting on insurance. I need the second option from OEM. The cross piece where the bottom of the nose connects is all bent out of wack. Maybe checking on some whole parts cars for what that $1300 part costs. Problem is still the euro bumper. The air dam is easily repairable. Actually drove it today with the parts off the car.

Heading off to body shops tomorrow for estimates. Pretty sure I know where it's going. Be interesting to see what it comes out at. Still no leads on a euro front bumper.

I think we found the nose piece but the euro bumper is going to bury me I think.

What a bummer. I looks like you are going to need all the components of the euro front bumper. Maybe you can reuse the rubber strips, but it looks like everything else needs to be replaced including the spoiler. You should be able to get most of that new, but it will be expensive. Maybe you can find a euro parts car, but they are getting much harder to find.

Found the end pieces and the chrome in Cali now all I need is the center piece. Tore mine all apart yesterday and the air dame is totally OK. The grills are fine and the kidneys didn't even break. I have great hopes now this DD restore project is going to work. Body shop estimate for the nose replacement is supposed to come in tomorrow.
