Well as many of yoou know i had a crash shortly after my test damaging quite a bit on my car, ie carbon bonnet, smoothed front bumper and i think its called the landing panel? the bit behind the bumper that the headlights sit in, and wings attach too. was just wondering is it a hard/expensive job to change it?

if the inner wings have been damaged then i wouldnt bother trying to repair it. any pics of the damage? the slam pannel can be a twat to change if you dont know what your doing an it would cost too much to get a garage to do it for what the car is worth imo tbh

The slam panel. Buy one from ebay mate, they're cheap!
Needs welding in either side, I know a place local that's pretty cheap too

i had the same thing as you and it was a pain trying to get hold of one but got there in the end cuz i wouldnt pay 60quid and i just brought a slam panel from ebay got it from a damage corsa b breaking for spares non runner for 25quid grinded it off and got a mate weld it for £20quid some charge 60quid on ebay so watch out cuz of the grinding work lol but if you dont want the hassle just buy one from ebay and weld it on m8 link at the bottom where i was going buy one for you they are roughly around the 35+
