Hi, Bob
Here is the site showing the nose panel replacement. www.fq101.co.uk/451front.asp

Fender replacement
Anybody had to deal with a front fender replacement yet? I hit a BIG dog two days ago and it broke my left front fender. I ordered a fender for $180.00 from the dealer in Birmingham, AL. Wondering if I should attempt to replace or take to body shop? any comments welcomed. Thanks

Hey All,
I think we know who does it, those that accelerate into turns, push the redline, know the apex and can follow lines... would you ever do it in your smart, put Nitrogen in your tires? Just curious. My miata has coil overs, 4 point roll ba...
