nice one, well done on your purchase.

It is inded crazy what they will write a car off for these days - I should know, I had similar damage to mine, although perhaps a little worse in some ways, but better in others (bumper and headlight ok). It is probably because bumpers are NLA and even then the list price is/was around 800 + vat.

Can I ask, ballpark, what sort of money you had to pay for it? I bought mine back off the insurer for 20% of the insurance payout / valuation. And this equated to around 1k.

£3500 which I was happy with

Welcome and enjoy. Oh and by the way thats a great colour. (may be a bit biased though) Hopefully you'll pick up a second hand headlight and bumper, Xenons are NLA at present although I believe that XPart are looking to resource which is good news for us. I believe Bumpers are available though.

Hi and welcome Colin.

MGOC membership to enable full access to here for help and advice and purchases through the Two-Sixties (uprated heater hose, rear springs etc etc) will actually save you much much more than the small yearly MGOC fee.

Speak to Brian at Dreadnought, I recently got a new bumper from him and he had a few others at the time.

What he said!

There's a lot of invaluable info on here and occasionally some bespoke parts are ordered up. I think it would be challenging to look after a 260 without the support of this group.

Good to see you over here, Colin.

I like XPG but your Orange car is a superb colour.

Welcome to V8 ownership

Saw the thread over on the OC. I had a thought about the rather green hue wheels - you could always treat them to a bit of Orange Grove to brighten up the XPG
