Hi all its been 2-3 weeks since i was last on here. I now have another issue my elite omega was hit by a bus on monday they have fooked the back drivers wing any idea where i can get a replacement from i have informed the 3rd party insurers they will fix the car i dont want the money for replacing for another car as cant find one anyway. Any info on where i can get a back wing will be greatly appreciated.
-
I had a similar experience with my previous Omega.rear quarter(wing) hit by a lorry. Got it fixed by a good body repair man.
To replace that panel is a major job.
-
not fussed chap as bus company paying due to liability ive told them i dont want another car just fix mine lol
-
The panel should be available from Vauxhall.
-
Depends where its creased or moved any interior supports or panels, but a good old fashion Panel Beater that knows what He's doing can normally work wonders.

I wonder at what cost ???

As Mr B has asked:
Saloon: PFL
Start of Production > Chassis No T1? with 85mm Fuel Filler Neck Tube £339.79 + VAT (3 available)
T1? Chassis > X1999999 with 130mm Fuel Filler Neck Tube £339.79 + VAT (8 available)
Saloon:
PF
Chassis No Y1000001 > EOP £260.48 + VAT (17 available)
Estate: PFL
SOP > Chassis no X1999999 £114.30 + VAT (3 Available)
Estate: FL
Chassis No Y1000001 > EOP £307.34 + VAT (1 Available)
When i say available thats only from Opel and thats all the stock in Europe so i would think that once they are gone that will be it unless you can find any pattern panels

Cheapest way would be go to a scrap yard with a disc cutter and cut the panel out. :)

What a f***ing joke just had a call from the bus company's insuance people the guy reckons car only worth £75 scrap and they are not willing to pay for repair as it isnt economical to do so and the laugh of it is they sending me a cheque for £650 am so pissed off right now i explained the car is mechanically sound and the wheels alone are worth £100 a piece anyone reccommend a decent panel beater/ sprayer close to the swindon, wiltshire area

Write to BUS COMPANY asking to see a copy of any contract you have with them with your signature authorising any such action ... (obviously none exists :) ) then point out that they are legally required to return your vehicle to the state it was in, one second before the negligence of their employee damaged it. Point out that you will take action in the County Court to protect your rights should they insist on circumventing the law. Your claim is against the BUS COMPANY NOT the Insurers, they have been appointed by the Bus Company but have no contract with you. If you wish to copy the letter to the Insurers it may speed things up.
Do NOT sit back and take it.... :(

I think you need to take it to your favourite repairer and get a quote to fix it, so you have a figure to chase them for as well. :y

That panel is spot welded in and is structural to the shell. Unlike the front winds which are just bolted on.
Biiig job. But doable. Think Robsey on here did one? Estate maybe.
Cheaper to repair if at all possible.
Or cut one out of a breaker and grind the spots back.

Ady Godwin at Membury, 30 mins from Swindon, is a small operation but top quality bodywork man. I've used him for years and have always had good work done. Tell him I sent you and he'll charge double. ;D ;D ;D :y

No. That's not correct. The value is available on its own for a few quid.
....and the valve is Andy :P ;D
Yeah, not so cocky now are we! easy is it! ;D pmsl ;D
Just realised what you're on about.
Predictive text rules KO ;)

Not sure how to value it ...... but I'm sure I'll be able to wing it ;) ;) ;) ;)

Estate panels are easy enough to dig out, saloon ones a bit trickier, but still only talking 4-5 days tops :y
Rob went a bit overboard with his and removed the inner structure as well ::)
Better to remove the panel complete and replace with new rather than second hand, but might be reparable without removing the panel :-\
