I was in an accident.
Pic is attached showing the damage. Head light is safe thankfully, but there is dent in the front of the bonnet. I am in Adelaide, and work in city, will love to get any crash repair workshop recommendations which are near to my work place.  |

Go to a few wreckers and try find one? Would think it would be a fairly common item

Bumper, bonnet, bonnet garnish, headlight, maybe even the grill if the supports were cracked.
You're looking at a couple of grand if new OEM parts are used. No one will repair any of those parts, they will quote replacement.

Being a white BFII, find who your local Taxi companies use for replacement panels.
