    Adolfo,
    Ebay seems to have a fair selection of body parts from time to time, but they are not cheap. I don't know about Italy, but here in the US, we have a number of places that break down damaged cars for spares and you can certainly get the parts you need. I'm just not sure how expensive it is to ship to Italy.

    GT Car Parts in Arizona and T Rutlands both come to mind. Maybe someone else can chime in with a website or contact info for GT Car parts, I can't find their website. Rutlands is:

    Best place in Europe for spares is in the UK. Try www.eurospares.co.uk for starters, there are several more, do an internet search. Good luck!

    Man, I am sorry ...and agree on US bumpers.......

    The whole front clip is one piece but we need to find you a cut up one, to repair just one side.....that isn't too bad!

    We will all help!

    From Texas......

    The driving/parking light may actually be the harder part to find.........

    Actually the front end is made of 3 parts less the hood of course. You can buy just a fender or portions of front clips new rather than change the whole thing (ive seen them). You could also fix that provided you find a talented body man rather than someone that uses bondo as his claim to fame.

    An expert mastercraftsman should be able to repair that. I know I guy here that could do it. If you can find someone that can it will be nicer than having a cut and shut done to your car.

    But I know where there was a front rh side available here in Australia. I doubt it will be cheap by the time it was removed rom the car and shipped to Italy, but if you're desperate send me a privete message and I'll pass on the contact details of it'd owner to you.

    Somehow sending sheet metal BACK to Italy seems wrong....but he must not be close to Maranello......

    I agree someone carefully opening that might not need too many parts..

    Post some better pics of the lower area when you have time.....

    i agree, that damage can be pulled out and the wrinkled / torn section can be cut out and a new piece made and fitted. it would be cheaper and faster than replacing the whole section. i pulled out the front sheet metal on the Marrone 78 308 gts i bought, 3 years ago. :)
