Hi,

Whilst driving my wifes (61 plate) C3 I was unfortunate enough to be reversed into by some numpty van man who is now claiming the obvious. Basically, have decided to fix the repair (light front bumper only) rather than go through insurance and potentially lose no claims/pay excess anyway.

Can anyone recommend where to buy used Citroen bits? - I need a front bumper complete with grille, and everywhere I look I can't get the whole thing in one piece, all the breakers / ebay just turn up already cracked/damaged ones or ones withoutn the grille.

Alternatively, I rather like the DS3 front bumper, slightly more agressive with the running lights in - it looks like a direct replacement at a first glance - would this work? same question applies, where to source one from? Also, how to feed power to the running lights?

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Looks like it will work,only possible bit that may look awkward is the DS badge recess. I would get down to a local dealer and have a measure up.
