Some help please...
« on: April 06, 2010, 09:59:49 AM »
I am sorry to say this but I reversed my friends Honda FIT into a bollard so I am trying to get it fixed before he kills me....
It is a 2002, FIT with VIN number I believe of GD1 1212079 LA GD1 (this was on a plate at the front of engine bay) as well as : SAA2 OC5 B506M
I am guessing that the GD1 number is the VIN number for this car?
Already, I searching for a rear bumper / driverside light and new tailgate. The bumpers I have looked at dont seem to have a space for a light off set to the right like his does, is this a weird japanese import that I am never going to get the right bumper for?
Does anyone know of a good place to get these bits?
Please help me before I end up in a shallow scrape somewhere....

Sounds like a import as the UK models are called Jazz's and also they don't have any lights in the bumper.

In Japan cars are not required by law to have a rear fog light. In order to comply with UK regulations, this Fit when imported had the rear bumper modified to house the rear fog light by the importer.

Assuming the Euro bumper will physically fit (no pun intended!) the Japanese models, you could purchase a Euro Jazz bumper and either have the rear foglight cut into the bumper or have it mounted under the bumper (assuming these methods are possible). The latter would probably be easier as I have seen many Japanese imported Mazda MX-5's with this arrangement. Maybe a Honda dealer or Honda UK could help on this matter?

Or try searching on line for Japanese import specialists - they maybe able to source a bumper for you or provide advice?
