parts needed for vandalised Panda!

Classic Collective Workshop

15h  · 

HELP! We need some help from Fiat Panda owners.

One of our clients has had her car vandalised in the local train station car park and we are going to need some bits to make sure it doesn't get written off by the insurance company. Some bits I can get from parts companies, but others will be more difficult to find. We need:

- Passenger side door glass

- Wing mirrors (both sides)

- 1 x wheel (front drivers side, not that it matters!)

- A drivers side door and hinges (we may be able to fix, but when they prized it open they have bent the hinges and the door was past its best before the attack)

- 1 x hub cap

- Fuel filler cap and possibly neck, but we think we can fix that!

Do please share, not looking for charity, just some help in locating good parts!

By the way, he is called Leonard and his owner is rightfully upset!

First off I'm sorry she has has this happen. Secondly I'm astonished she would want to go through insurance?! Lastly I hope the car has been moved to a safe place and isn't still in a car park wearing that sticker. Nothing screams burn me out more to the little chavs than a police aware sticker

Perhaps if it’s lost the bead it will struggle to seal? I don’t know, it’s just a shame this happens.

This is so weird to see for me, as this is just not a thing that happens over here - people randomly vandalizing someone else’s car. If anything catches fire or is vandalized, it’s a new 100k+ car that was destroyed in an argument* between criminal scum. 

You have chances to find your wipers mangled or car keyed if you park like an absolute unit, but I can’t remember this sort of thing happening even then.

I am sure it will be kids ( and I can hear my teacher dad saying kids are goats and it’s children).I agree, it’s a £1000 car at best, not a cause of envy or a capitalist rage.

You do realise what this means?

Most of Autoshite will be selling up even as I type, and looking at property within a 1hr drive of your front room!

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. The ones that go up in flames aren’t destroyed because of some capitalist rage, but because they’re owned by actual criminal scum that pissed off some other criminal scum that now wants to warn them / revenge / else. I can’t imagine a regular car with valid MOT/Tax status being randomly vandalized. Just something that doesn’t happen here.

Many reasons not to, and be prepared for a sticker shock on both property price and prices of everything else you buy here. Bit hey, plenty of mechanics for shite, and your car will be safe for the most part!

Just unbelievable what some people will do, I mean did the Panda look at them funny? Just spotted this on FB too, looks like you have all the parts you need now but  I've got door glass and mirrors if you are stuck.
