Evening all,
Earlier today I was on my way home. A road I am very familiar with decided it didn't like me. When going around a right hand bend, which was going downhill I spun round 360 degrees into a crash barrier.

I've sourced most of the parts I need, but can't seem to find that piece of trim that's just to the right of the drivers side fog light on my Skoda Fabia.

What the hell is it called?! and where can I find one?

Thanks!
Tom.

Yes! but mines the model before, the fog lamp is bigger and the piece to the right (if looking at it straight ahead) is a separate piece

And just 10 seconds after posting this I found some on ebay!

Thanks!

Can't you get a bumper with the whole lot still attached?

I've looked, they all seem to come in pieces, its just the drivers side that has the damage, im trying to keep the cost down.

Get a price from a dealer for one, often these sort of things are surprisingly cheap from Skoda.

I work for a vehicle repair centre + our accident department said it would be mega money for one

If it's just a small trim piece I'd ask anyway - you never know your luck!

They're cheap as chips from Skoda, I had to replace a couple on the girlfriends old car as they were missing when we bought it. They are only push fit and the dealer says they have a habit of popping out if you touch a pavement with the front bumper.

I think there's two different styles though albeit the ame shape.
