Title: who\'s breaking a series 2 or 3 1st gen??
Post by: Ian65 on September 16, 2009, 09:18:28 PM
Hi,
does anyone know of a series 2 or 3 currently being broken for spares anywhere.
I\'m after the front and rear bumper bars as well as a few other bits but I\'m struggling to find a breaker at the moment.
Any ideas??
Cheers,
Ian

There are some weird heavy metal curly brackets which support the bumpers. The 2 at the front easily get deformed and throw the bumper out of line. Is that what\'s up?

Thanks David, that\'s really useful, I\'ll have a ring around tomorrow.
I don\'t know if the supports are bent.
The front bumper has had a slight knock on the offside which has bent the indicator / sidelamp mount and bumper bar  but hasn\'t cracked the plastic nose, just distorted its lines.
It looks as if just the metal bumper bar is bent but I won\'t know for sure until I strip it.

Ian

Hi Ian,
what other bits are you after, although im currently in the lake district (the joys of a dongle) will be back middle of next week.
Also may have a front bumper at work (Great Haywood) but not sure of condition.

Hi Keith,
The parts I need to bring my cars condition back up are:
 
Front bumper bar ( just the steel reinforcing bar not the plastic nose)
Rear bumper bar ( not the plastic cover)
Centre dash vents
Rear wiper motor cover
Grey carpet ( drivers footwell mat has worn through on mine)
Centre console radio surround ( plastic)
I\'m searching the net but not having a load of success  at the moment.
Cheers,
Ian

Hi Ian,
Ive got a complete car (B reg) at a friends yard at rickerscote but the front bumper has been repaired before and I need the rear one. Good news though, I have got a front reinforcing bar at work and all the other bits you need on the B reg. I will let you know when Im back off my hols and if you get the bits off you can have em for nowt.
