I recently rebuilt the front end of the wife's saxo.

Jordy's prices are about right - though I paid less for the bonnet and lights and more for the bumper. My rad was knackered, too.

I got my bits from Aldershot Car Spares - excellent service. Its not too far from you, but there may be a breaker nearer to you.

Lots of breakers sell on ebay, so thats a good place to find one with a car that's your colour then go direct.

Regards,

Mike

you could get parts from PCR or pease pottage.
