swept Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 505 was rearended hard today and only the bumper and struts were bent. If anyone has spares kicking around I would be interested...the rearender doesn't want to go through the insurance company so at this point I am obliging.

Bean Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Check the rear quarter panels from the base of the rear window to the tops of the rear wheel arches. You can also eyeball the body side mouldings make sure the rear unibody isn't tweaked downwards. If it was hit hard - odds are decent there is structural damage that should get corrected. Likely too far away to help with parts - but I'd message Tommy Kinder to see if he's got parts. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethx Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 you could also check with brian holm, shipping probably wouldn't be too bad on this item... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeugeotPilot Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 If none of those leads pan out I have what you need. I assume you need the bumper too? Also, have you evaluated the rest of the body for damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swept Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 thanks for the replies everyone. the body is straight which is a testament to the bumper shocks...they may be ugly but they do work. Today I found a local 505 that is being stripped so I will find out tomorrow if I can get the bumper and shocks. As an aside I read some threads here on collapsing the shocks and interestingly this also is what people do with ferrari 308 bumper shocks...drill a hole and then spot weld them in place to hold the bumper closer to the body. This looks more euro, but definitely loses the shock absorption capacity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
