Raining outside and a young girl slides into my front drivers side. Looks like I need the Drivers side fender and the whole front bumper because it looks like it is one piece. Did not hit me going that fast so from what I can see, no frame damage and should be able to fix it ok. Car is drivable. British Green color. Need suggestions on where to get the parts? Any help appreciated.

 

Sorry to hear it. Good idea to take note of your paint code on a label inside drivers' door jamb. Somewhere here you can find some paint-code threads (If I can find them, I'll post a link) that list what years which codes were used. Could be useful if you are trying for a fender you won't have to have re-sprayed. Beware wrecker-yards....I looked at a lot of bent, scratched, and damaged left front fenders for a 95 XJ6 that were in "A, A+, Perfect" and other such highly rated conditions before finally finding one on eBay that would work with only a buff and install.

 

Ouch! Sorry to hear about such bad luck.

BRG (British Racing Green) is 1753 / HGD

JRG (Jaguar R G) is 1957 / HGZ

BRG is darker than JRG.

The bumper & fender (wing) are separate parts I reckon.

 

That suxs!!! Sorry to hear that. I've got no help to offer, just sympathy. Gosh and we were just talking about bad drivers too...

I hope it gets fixed right, fast and cheap.

 

Well, after a day of rain finally had the opportunity to look it over and not as bad as I thought. In fact might be able to get away with just some minor body repairs. When hit, it pushed the bumper cover over a little bit so it looks like I have to remove and try to straighten it out a bit. Fender also could be repaired at a body shop. Going to see a body guy today and see what they say. Thanks for the sympathy. Its running great to so that just upsets me more this happens. Will take some pics when I get the cover off and post.

SchultzLD, feel free to comment. Got a smile after reading your post.

 

Hopefully it may turn out to be not so bad.
I see your in PA, anywhere close to Bodyman?

 

Hi and just getting this. Out of town. Will check it out.
