Urgent !! info on panel and light unit prices ??

Hi All.
A few days ago a cheeky walnut tree in our orchard got out of line so I gave it a good seeing to with the Rangie. I was very accurate and got it precisely on the corner of the right rear guard and tailight unit. . Hmm...The local stealers here in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, have quoted the following prices for a replacement rear panel and a light unit.

• New right rear panel NZ$5000.00. (US$4,250.00: Euros 2750.00)
• New right rear light unit NZ$848.00 (US$720.80: Euros 466.40)

As you can see from the pics these items cant be fixed, but the prices are a crime against humanity.

Can anyone comment on their local pricing or know of a firm that can supply internationally at sensible prices..

BUT..I showed that walnut tree a thing or two !! Theres at least one scratch on its bark..so there

Cheers

Ouch !!

Second hand parts would be the cheapest option

A pair of lights could be had for around £250 here in the UK

Rear panel could probably be had at a fraction of the cost

Just need shipping to your location

Lots of parts suppliers breaking L322'a here in the UK, many will ship overseas.

Have you tried the forum sponsors Emmotts ?

Hi,

Yup I checked them but for some reason they only go up to the 2005 model, mine's the one after that.
I did find one rear quarter at a wrecker for about 170 quid and sent the pic to my panelbeater. He was not impressed,
I will keep looking for a few more days but I guess I may just have to stick it on the insurance company and wear the damage on my claims history.


Thanks anyway for suggestion.

Cheers,

Richard.
