    I recently had a small frontal crash with my 512TR and i need some pieces for it.
    So i am in the market for a very good complete front end or a complete salvaged car with no damage to the front.
    Help please dear ferraristi.

    Dear Ferraristi,

    Ouch !!!

    Sorry to hear about your troubles.

    I can only think of the usual suspects....TRutlands, Eurospares, Evilbay.

    I don't know if Ferrari parts exchange is still around...but it was a good source.

    How about some pix....so we can all grieve with you. :(

    If you are talking about a fiberglass section it can be easily fixed to stronger-than-new. Standard procedure on 355 valances,.

    If you are just looking for the fiberglass section, take it to a body shop with a good fiberglass man and they can repair it and paint it.

    Fiberglass is an easy fix and usually stronger than the surrounding section if done correctly.
    Competent autobody shop can re-glass and respray to new condition.

    Headlights are broken, fog lights also, front bumper broken and hood is bent.
    I would prefer to have this front parts new than repaired.
    thank you to all

    This sounds like something entirely different than what is shown in the picture I referenced originally.
    No cracks, no broken fog lights, no bent hood.

    Amigo, batidela de frente, não a muita velocidade mas entrou debaixo do parachoques traseiro de um mercedes. Está parado na procura de peças para o restaurar, da melhor forma.
    Entretanto, comprei um Mas 3200 pretinho :) .

    Lets see a picture. Buying a whole car to fix minor damage sounds extreme unless of course the car was mangled.

    True but what i have been asked for a complete front is similar to a crashed complete car ( +/- 20000 dollars)

    Já tentaste a Eurospares?? São os únicos que te poderão ajudar mais rápido.

    Apesar de estar sem andar com longos meses de fisioterapia, no que puder ajudar... O Sarcoma está a dar trabalho.

    Abraço,

    Eurospares seems to only have the Testarossa parts, not the specific 512TR ones.
    Seems i have to start buying them separately.
