Do you have a picture you can upload? Then everyone can see the extent of the damage and it'd help them to know what parts exactly you require. I think the more difficult parts to get are small things like the headlight washers etc. What colour is it?

...bad news Jonah - as long as there was no injuries it's a result-ish.

Hope you're back on the road soon :y :y

Oh well.

Seems there have been a few fender benders on here of late.

As long as there are no injuries, and the pockets are the only things hurt, thats the most important thing.

Post by: Jonah8742 on 04 September 2009, 20:38:34
well the bonnet is completly buggered as its locked down and wont open, the release catch is broke and it has a real big crease in it!! the lens on the head light is missing a rather large piece but the bumper only has a hole in it as his subframe attcked my car!!

Oh, that's not too bad. As I said earlier try www.megavaux.co.uk
They've got a 2002 Green CDX in stock. But there are no pictures so don't know which green and what the damage to it is.

If the release catch has gone then it could just be that the cable has gone. Can you open the catch from underneath reaching up? Otherwise it will be a job for the angle grinder going through the skin to pull the catch.

Then as a bodge fix you could get a replacement bonnet in any colour cheap as a stop gap. Alternatively if you can get to the catch to release.... I'm pretty sure you could bang the metal work back into a rough shape.

So that leaves the bonnet catch and new light for the MOT  :y

Then you can look at sorting properly at a later date.
