Damaged front of van

[Keitai]

Hit a bollard. My mechanic has looked at it. Said if I went through insurance it would be a right off.

The header tank was empty! Worrying. But haven't checked it for weeks so dunno if it's a previous issue or this prang. It was leaking after they changed clutch then seemed OK (2 months ago).

The radiator bar is massively bent. And front plastic panel has been pushed forward so it's hard to open the front bonnet and he said needs replacing but from a quick look the radiator looked ok. Filled it up header tank and radiator wasn't spraying water which is good. Got to monitor header tank though

Need to get on eBay and order a radiator bar and front panel so I can take to him to fit. He's a good guy and is trying to help me financially. Peugeot expert 2013.


Any good-

Quite a biff, that!
The plastic bit looks as if it would be fine, but the bumper bar may be from a face lifted van and therefore we can't tell if it's right or not.......you'd have to get the old one off and compare it as best you can.
It does look as if the radiator and fan have got away with it though.
Consider using a local body shop and factor for your parts......it could save a load of time if you bought the wrong bits. Even a genuine Peugeot bumper bar may not prove prohibitive cost wise.....and it will fit.

To make sure I order the correct parts shall I go to peugeot shop and get a quote and get him to look over and tell me right parts then order ebay?

Stop buying things from ebay.
It's not cheaper, quicker or better in any way.

You might get lucky and receive something which can actually be used - assuming you don't mind being without a van for a week or four while the usual suspects attempt delivery multiple times.

Far more likely is receiving items which do not fit, are already damaged, are completely the wrong items, or receiving nothing at all.
Even one of those things happening will totally destroy any alleged savings.

By all means go to Peugeot and get the correct part numbers - this may help the supplier to produce the right goods.
The genuine bumper bar won't be a huge price, but the plastic nose shell will be. You can get your first provider to supply that one, but again there is a risk that it won't fit.
Also allow for painting with any costs!
A scrapper may well have what you need, but don't expect it to be perfect - they never are.
Did the bonnet survive?

That vehicle is shared with Citroen and Fiat. It was the Fiat Scudo and the Citroen Dispatch. If it helps, you could broaden your search for parts, by seeing if any breakers have the same part off one of the other two? (Badges excepted, of course)!
