Update:

Right.... I know I have been slow on this one but Ive finally got out there today to start on our lovely 205! Very Happy

Started but getting off the broken bumper which I did and much to my relief the lower valance is A-ok! Very Happy

However im a little concerned with the amount of rust around the fan housing Neutral

Picking head bolts up tomorrow and ordered new indicator off ebay today, almost have all the parts now! Very Happy

Almost time to crack on! Cool

Headlamp panels always rust, buy geniune replacements as the patterns from hadrians are a s**t fit.

Do you happen to know how much they are Ed?

And is it "structural" rust?

How you getting on with the rust? what is the rest of the car like, solid? drivers side looks worse affected, i think you could probably 'patch' the other side. How you find getting the bumper off mine was a right b**ch!

Headlamp panel is the replacement part name, with the bottom bar between each side being a cross member. Think it only costs like £100. It wont be structural unless its gone a far way back towards the strut tops. Just cut out and plate the areas if its rusted on the chassis rail near the front.

Not as yet Sad

I did overtime instead to afford all the bumper and trim fixing kits because they cost a bloody fortune. Neutral

I got new headbolts because I was told that they were stretch bolts and could be used once only. They were only like £16 anyway so not a biggie!
