Hey guys, I've had trouble trying to get a replacement slam panel as eBay is my only option and they make it sound like every type of MK7 is different (ie diesil vs petrol and the engine sizes), is this the case or will they fit one another?

I've got a 1.6 Diesil, it was made in Jan '12 (so a MK7) and have split one side of the slam panel, so need a replacement... I don't mind paying for a better quality replacement (around the £50 mark) vs a Chinese 'new' one (which I imagine wouldn't even fit). 

 

Thanks in advance! 

have a look through this lot, contact some of the traders and see if they can help you out.

If you go on www.catcar.info and type in your vin, then take a look see what the actual part number (finis code, 7-digits)you can then do a more accurate search for your specific slam panel.

Thanks LOADS for this, it was a massive help and I believe I've been able to find exactly what I was after thanks to it. Any chance you know of a reasonable guide on how to replace it? I've had a browse of YouTube etc and the best I can find is removing the front bumper, it looks like it should be fairly straightforward, but a walk through is always nice to have. 

'fraid not, but on my Mondeo it's just 8 bolts, so as you've said, shld be easy 🤔
