caled Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 There's a road with a load of breaker's yards in Bury; Pimhole Road, right next to Openshaw Park. I recommend Autosave, managed to get a front bumper and a rear door in tourmallard green which is quite rare on a mk6, so silver shouldnt prove too difficult.

shawdreamer Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 forgive the cliche could have been worse. 6" toward the back and even that slight impact could have bent the base of the A pillar and potentially runined the feasability of keeping the motor on the road. plus your motors a proper common colour in regards to escorts so its not even funny how easy it'll be to find a replacement.

danposs86 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 If your going to search for the door for a while, hammer out the door a bit so you can use the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Look on the bright side, at least they came and told you. Very true, unlike in my case where someones gone into my rear st24 bumper & hit it off its bracket cracking it all & ruining the bracket. No one saw a thing.Never a nice thing to hear all the same but at least he will foot the bill. Poor lad was probably too scared to come and tell you.
