Need M35 R/h Front Guard Panel (silver)

[pixel8r]

First accident for my M35 - my wife managed to collect a pole while reversing out of a carpark. Damage is only minor thankfully, so should get away with just replacing one panel.

Here's what it looks like now:

I'm in Adelaide, SA.

Anyone know where I could get a replacement panel from? If I could get one in the factory silver this would obviously be best.

Or is it worth trying to take it to a crash repair shop?

Unfortunately my insurance excess is $1200 so I doubt its worth going through insurance. I've been thinking of altering this because my premium has dropped by almost $150 in the past year - which means I could probably keep it the same and have a lower excess. Just a shame that I didn't get onto that sooner

I'm not sure if a panel shop could fix that, but this should help if they can't: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2001-2007-M35-NISSA...=item1c11713ab2

Check the gap between the bonnet and guard to see if it has closed up at all

Looking at that pic, a panel beater should be able to fix it. Guess around $600-800 to fix and paint.

Will most likely have to repaint a another s/hand panel anyway, even if it was silver.

you'll end up paying just as much getting the paint matched on those new gaurds..and seeing as their scratched in that ebay sale they'll require alot more than a respray.

check out a repair shop first and get a cash quote regardless.. could be cheaper to get that dent pulled if its possible.
