Help finding parts!

[Joe197]

Hi guys,

Had my 197 for about 18 months now but I'm a first time poster so I do apologise if I do/say anything nooby...

I hit a deer yesterday at about 40 which has snapped my bumper and completely totalled my front splitter. It's still completely driveable and unnoticeable to a non-197 driver, but the imperfection is doing my nut in...

Really looking to replace these but can't seem to find a front bumper anywhere. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction - e.g. Scrapyard, website, private seller etc?

In addition to this I'd really like:

• Exhaust tips,
• Advice on changing the headunit to a folding GPS system (where to get it etc).
• Front splitter / Valance.
• Steering wheel reupholster / replacement
• New headlights (recommendations for best bulbs, xenon etc?)

If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it!

Joe

Hi Joe.
Not sure where you'd get a second hand bumper. eBay or on here in the for sale section?
Front splitter @renaultpartsdirect

Try Jake at Royalsteeringwheels

Oh deer... really sorry!

Crap news mate. Breakers and Ebay are your best bet I would have thought.

New headlights can be bought new from Euro Car Parts for reasonably cheap. Go for the projectors. There's a thread on here about bulbs.

Threads on here about the head unit too.

Exhaust tips turn up on Ebay quite a lot.

Join the Facebook groups too, there's always stuff on there for sale and you could put a wanted post up too.

Best of luck.

Ha, sorry mate, really couldn't resist.

It's only money right? You'll get it sorted. Shout if you need anything, we're a helpful bunch.

PS, if you're on a budget, I'll be posting an advert for some standard (non-projector) headlights that will be nice and cheap in the next few days.
