850 / T-5 parts needed - hoses, trims, lights
 

Evening,

On the hunt for a few random parts for an 850 T-5, ideally either central Scotland sort of direction (ie any cars in breakers?) or if somebody is breaking one and will happily post...

I need:

Front and rear bumper tops (estate)
Door mouldings (x6)
Door handles (x4)
Door mirror bodies (x2)
Mudflaps (x4)
Front indicators / side light units (x2)

I also need, and any 2.3 turbo will supply this...

The uppermost boost hose from the intercooler to the intake pipe
Throttle position sensor
Idle air control valve

Obviously the bumper tops will likely be cost prohibitive to send but anything else, I'll happily consider but the mouldings would need to be undamaged.

Thanks

I have a front bumper top which was repaired and painted before I bought the car, but in my opinion the repair was good but the paint job is crap and needs painted again . This was it on my car before I replaced it after months of searching for another one, they are getting hard to find

Repainting mine is an option I've not disregarded. They e been painted black which isnt correct, but if I could source a reasonable colour match to "restored original" then it's something I may have to consider moving forwards.

Unfortunately I tried a bit petrol last night which didn't do much so tried acetone on the side moulding which worked but in turn has yellowed the paint directly above and below the strip. Yes, I know I should have removed the strips first...

So all in all, a bit scunnered with it just now more so as sourcing parts that were once common has become a bit of a chore.

Worth trying a non abrasive car polish to the affected area to see if it removed the acetone marks

Thankfully, after much buffing with the unnecessarily powerful rotary buff and some Autosmart compound dating back to about 2003, said stains have come out. Ultimately however, some sort of solvent won't take the trim paint off the bumpers as they're too textured and even on the much smoother door strips, the finish isn't great... looks a bit streaky, which is a given thus it's going to be either replace or try and repaint them. I'm not after concours, just presentable

Have since sourced all the required boost hoses.

Thanks
