Parts question - help please.

Hi All,

Need some help for the girlfriend, she managed to tt her 52 plate fiesta into a curb last night in the pissing rain.

would appear to have bent the alloy, ford want £125 for one.

I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a good ford parts place for one new wheel, it's the 5 spoke design on most of the new fiestas.

if not looks like she'll be getting four new ones off ebay.

cheers for any help guys.

Realistically a new one is the quickest option.

Other than that, try the scrap yards or ebay...

A ford parts dealer is going to be the quickest way of getting the wheel.

if you need to net order it, a dealer group has set up

www.fordpartsuk.com

I've never used them though, so can't vouch for their performance.

Is it really badly damaged? My wife did the same thing (wimmin 'eh) but only the lip on the edge was damaged. I managed to file of the bad bit and now there's a neat, smooth, small dent. Needed a new tyre and all is well. That was over twelve months ago so there dosn't seem to be any pressure loss and now it's not a new dent you can hardly tell.
