It finaly happened. I made ​​a dent in my car while I was parking my 360 spider yesterday. So now there's a bulge in the rear bonnet and it can not be fixed I contacted my local Ferrari dealer, who has tried to order a new one from Ferrari but they did not have any in stock and do not know when they gonna get it? (Italian) So now am I looking for a used, is there anyone who can help me find one? I need it asap Thanks! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Probably one of the easier parts to obtain from a breaker as many would survive typical colision. Get busy on google or with sponsors on this site would be my advice.
Try to ask them : [email protected] Compny from Deutschland. or: http://cgi.ebay.de/Ferrari-F360-360-Spider-Motorhaube-Teile-ExP-/190505881349?pt=Autoteile_Zubeh%C3%B6r&hash=item2c5b090f05 or: http://cgi.ebay.de/Motorhaube-FERRARI-360-Spider-ET-Nr-65784200-/260298165389?pt=Autoteile_Zubeh%C3%B6r&hash=item3c9afacc8d Try to look at ebay Rock
thanks. I've been around ebay. First link. He will only sell it with the glass and one grill? The price is the same as a new. Second link. He says he has it in stock but when I wanted to buy it, no delivery?
Is there no way to find a good local body repair shop in your area? Or is it that serious that it can not be repaired anymore? Some guys do a real good job in repairing body elements. Maybe you can give it a try?
I've been to one but he could not fix it? Do you think it is possible? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

I would think that could definitely be repaired and at much less cost than replacement. I'd suggest you try a few other body shops.
@ RB9: Thank you but it is a Spider @ FerrariDublin: You may be right. Amazing that Ferrari does not have a single one in stock!
I can assure you that it can be repaired at a much lower cost than replacing the part. Any proficient body shop experienced in aluminum can repair it. I've seen much worse get repaired at several shops here on the East Coast.
You may even want to consider a paintless dent facility. I have seen them work wonders with worse damage.
Can be fixed at the panel beaters. Trouble is, it is too much work for the mechanic and the client probably wouldn't agree to the price he is going to charge. Happens all the time, but I believe it can be fixed. Question is, who's gonna do it for you.
Unfortunately paintless dent removal wouldn't work as the paint itself is damaged. But the bonnet can be removed, the dent worked out, sanded, filled, sanded again, primed and paint the entire bonnet and will look good as new. Acquire a few estimates from local reputable auto shops. It shouldn't be too serious. Keep us updated on your progress and best of luck.
I guess I should have been more clear in my post. The paintless facility could work out the dented area and then have a body shop clean up any residual and paint it.
I apologize, I thought you were referring to a paintless dent removal service as a complete resolution. But I do agree with you.
