Front panel? - connorp - 13-08-2015
What is the front panel that is underneath the car and it carries a wiring loom on the bottom of it, what I think is the power steering pipe runs along it and I think the radiator sits on it, the piece itself is painted the same colour as the car.
The reason I want to know is that I had a barely 10mph meeting with a bank head on due to the wet roads today, and I'm trying to work out how much it's going to cost to fix, any help would be much appreciated

the lower crossmember?
RE: Front panel? - Redordead89 - 13-08-2015
Isn't it just the lower part of the front slam panel?

My slam panel is black and my car is china blue, this piece I'm talking about is finished in china blue and I didn't think slam panels had a lower part, but I can't say that for sure
That may be it but I'm not 100% I will try and get a pictures of it tomorrow, if it is that i will snap it up!

Click my eBay link Connor. That part is normally painted body colour and is the section underneath the radiator. This is the only painted section carrying a wiring loom I can think of on the front of a 306

It's not structural (it's basically made of tin foil lol), not sure what you'd call it but you can just hammer it back into shape tbh.
Edit - Yes it's the part Ben linked.

It's nothing to do with the slam panel. It connects the inner wings at their base and is normally painted the same as the body.

I tried hammering but there's not a lot of room to get at it.
Also my bonnet is sitting lower than my wings at the edges of the bonnet, is this fixable?
RE: Front panel? - Toms306 - 13-08-2015
Be plenty of room if you remove the rad first...
You need to post a pic or 2 really regarding the bonnet, sounds like more damage than I had first assumed. Has the slam panel bent as well? Or the chassis legs?

Yeah true.
I didn't check, I'll have to look tomorrow, hopefully it's not too bad otherwise I'm going to look at getting something else
