Default Front end rebuild info needed please

Hi, I have an rb5 thathashad a front end smash at some point in its life. I'd be looking to get an alloy bonnet two new wings and the whole front bit but question is where do I get these bits? Wings and bonnet I'd try on the parts pages but where would I get a whole new front bit from and what kind of price could I roughly expect to pay for this to be welded on and repaired properly. Tia.

Do u mean the bumper bar? The part that the front bumper fits on to? Post a few photos of what you mean. If it is a bumper bar then ur not talking lots of money.. 50quid for a tidy one i paid a few years ago.

No welding on the bumper bar either. It bolts on/into the chassis.

Thabks for your info. Here are some photos I mean the two thin bars going across horizontally and the whole front panel and it does look like that big bit at the front is welded in parts. Can I get these brand new? Also where would be a good place to get an Ali bonnet and two new wings please.

Thanks for that info it's helped abit and for the link. Will have a look into it. Now I just gota find someone to do the work now as I can imagine welding the new one back in place is not an easy job especially to get it straight
