Wtb - C210 Lh Guard

[rb26zed]

I was driving home today and got hit on a roundabout by a guy not watching what he was doing.

He hit me in the front left totally destroying the front left guard but luckily not doing too much other damage.

Parts I need are LH front guard, LH headlight surround and front bumper. Would also like a bonnet but it's not critical.

Any help would be appreciated.

I live in Ipswich, QLD,

call or text me on 0401598047

or PM or reply here

Front bumper, you can get it reconditioned, and recromed, the radiator support looks damaged so to the grille, you have the other parts?

headlight assembly, plastic guard eyebrow, monitor for the headlight??bumper side rubber..

i cant help at the moment but will ask down here.

[rb26zed]

Thanks guys,

I don't know how you haven't seen me around either Jason, I lived in Silkstone and drove through Dinmore everyday, but I live in Redbank Plains now. I have seen your car around a fair while ago, maybe a year or two.

Yeah Mario I only need the LH guard, but any other parts I could get would make it cheaper and I could always use spares of anything for a rainy day. I looked into getting the bumper repaired and it's pricey, but probably what I'll have to do. The radiator support panel is just bent on the "wing" so shouldn't be to difficult to fix. The headlights are fine, it's just the surround and that strip underneath the grill and headlights that's damaged. The grill appears ok. I have spares of these though but would definitely buy more if they came up.

Oh yes the bumper end rubber is missing too, so one of them would be appreciated.

Socrates from Perth has offered me a guard, thanks mate. Getting one from someone closer would be nice but I'll take what I can get really.

I expect his insurance company will write it off for between $1000 and $1500, so anything I can do to cut the costs will be good.

Parts I need are;

LH guard

Bumper end rubber LH

Chrome trim on front of guard

Parts I'd like are;

Bonnet (not rusted out under chrome trim) very unlikely

Headlights, Surrounds and Grill assembly

Bumper

Any front end parts really

I'm always on the lookout for c210 parts so if you have anything you want to get rid of that's c210 related don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks ... the one i have is pretty much the same way too...

[rb26zed]

Hey Rick, I would definitely be interested in knowing what you've got. I am especially after chrome bits, grills, headlights, trim, glass, bumpers and anything exterior really. Could be interested in other bits too though. Thanks.

Mario helped me out with some parts, thanks Mario, but I would still be interested in more.

I am still in need of a left hand guard for my c210. Any help would be appreciated. I am in QLD but I will pay postage from interstate. I don't mind if it has some rust.

I had one organised but the seller has decided not to sell.

I have all the other parts I need, thank you hcg210.

Don't throw out your damaged one, believe it or not its still repairable if you can't source a straight one.

[rb26zed]

_{I haven't thrown it out yet. Do you recommend someone around here to take it too?}

Edited April 22, 2012 by rb26zed

[V8skylineMAN]

No one in particular, if you want to bring it to my place tomorrow, we can make it look like a guard again, and then you can get a panel beater to finish it off.

[rb26zed]

Oh, I took it to Westside on Turley st today. He seemed optimistic enough that it could possibly be repaired. His estimate was within my expectations too, so looking good so far.

I've had my wheels painted by Westside a while ago and they turned out awesome. Maybe a little pricey but it was a top notch job. I took a set of Rota RB-R 17x9.5's (for my zed) and said 'can I get the centers painted dark charcoal please?' and out he came with folders full of dark charcoal paint chips. I chose a colour that was something like 'HSV Phantom metallic with white pearl' or something pretty close to that name anyway. Whatever it was it's a really nice low metallic dark charcoal, perfect for a set of wheels. Cost $550.

At the time my zed was destined for the street, that has changed now though. It will never see the street now. Otherwise I would have just painted them myself for the track.

Jason, when she's back on the road I'll have to bring my skyline around to meet her sister.

Sounds like a plan.
