I've got a tangerine Fabia estate that I need a bonnet and a wing for. I have found a wing from a 5 door hatch. Are they the same? I'd presume they would be, but would like to know for sure.

 

Thanks.

Welcome.

 

What age of Mk2 Fabia.  Of pre face lift or post facelift the wings and bonnet of a Hatch or an Estate or the same age will fit.

 

If you have found the match in colour that is good as long as a perfect match.

What tangerine, is it the Metallic copper / orange kind of colour? 

Do you have the paint code? Or know the name Skoda gave at the time that was available?

 

 

This colour?

and 2007-2009 ?

Hi thanks for the quick response.

 

Sorry I'm new to Fabia's and indeed Skoda's. What are the age range and differences between pre and post facelift?

 

My car is in the picture below and the wing I have found is https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284290818392?fits=Model%3AFabia&hash=item42310da158:g:iuoAAOSwLNtgmmEY

 

 

Oh and my paint code is 9771, which when googling also comes back as the code M2/F3H that is listed in the ad.

So your car comes as an early Mk2, 2007-2009, then they did a facelift and different front end.

 

Have you had a good panel beater look at the damage?

Did they say they could not put that back right, or was it too expensive and just easier to get parts?

Thanks for the comments. I cant see much info on the net about front wing replacement, but being a VAG car I'm presuming it's just bolted on as per the old MK4 Golfs?

 

 Where it refers to seperator panel, that just means the closure panel  between door and inner wing which you will see once the wheel arch liner is off / out.

Wow that's perfect thanks very much. What is that manual you have?

Manual is called ELSA WIN, which covers all the VAG group cars, ie Audi, Seat, Skoda, VW.

 

No doubt you will "probably" look for it, there is plenty of info out there regarding free download links, BUT they are often incredibly slow or just rubbish , crash halfway through and don't work and elsa win is atleast 6GB so not ideal.

It is also, well how do I describe it, a PAIN to to install as its a network based program "hacked" to work on standalone PC's, so if your not atleast a little computer literate, I would not bother and you will see as many posts about installation

issuses as there is about downloading.

It also runs on a "virtual machine" within windows.

 

I purchased mine on DVD from a well known auction site

 

 

EDIT EDIT EDIT...........

 

Just found that the russki's have also put this online now as well as other manuals i have used for years...................don't know where they get the time...

Thanks for that above thats handy!

 

Wing ordered! Now to find a bonnet to tidy up the exterior. 

...I'm supposing you asked the seller if they had the bonnet, too!

 

Just FYI, the whole front end is the same for both estate and hatchback, including the front doors. I believe though, the rear doors are a different fitment. The rear lights match, too, despite the hatch being different!

Checked their other items for sale and no bonnet... :-( 

 

Thanks for that. I'd had thought that would be the case, but just wanted to check. A mate of mine is going to sort the bonnet for the cost of the materials, so I guess I'm also sorted with the bonnet.
