I'm breaking a facelift atm but the bonnet, headlights and bumper have gone unfortunately :( Most of the regular breakers are at Newent as well. :-/

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?
-
Oh and forgot to mention, try www.megavaux.co.uk
They've got quite a few Omega's in.
-
its green, i will upload a pic for you all to see....

...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

....easily done W - as long as you can walk away, that's the important thing :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.
-
well, here they are;

Don't look too bad!
-
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!!
-
Deceptive pic then ;D ;D
-
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.
-
just looked at that myself. They say the paint code is 3GU.
-
Wondered if they had a tailgate for my elite after that tree jumped out behind me while i was reversing :-[ :-[
-
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.
