put the front half of your Z in...take the front half of your Z out...put the front half of your Z in...and... you shake it all about...you do Z hokey pokey and you turn yourself around...that's what it's all about.

My Z is damage in the front ], i need bonnet, fenders, lights, front bumper, radiator, condenser, radiator panel and some suspension parts so i think a half would be good unless you have a better idea.

Are there many 350Z's in Barbados? Curious.
I have 2 in Trinidad.. a 2003 Track coupe ands a 2004 Touring roadster.
Is your car RHD?.
I can get some parts. what year is it?
Do you need frame rails? Which side is hardest hit?

i've seen a good amount of nissan wreckers with rear end wrecked totalled Zs in norcal. I'm sure if you're willing to pay the right price they'd be willing to accomodate your needs or even ship you the entire thing.

Hes not gonna find a front clip in barbadoes. Over the years ppl import these cars to the islands and dont really consider the cost of maintaining them. They just want to drive around in something no one on the island has but at what cost lexus,bimmer and benz have to import mechanics from the states just to work on their cars. Your a@@ed out homie

Nissan is not as difficult. Many components are shared with other models.
Your point on the other cars is valid.
Repair costs for mirror and suspension on a 30 month old Toureg with less than 10k miles was quoted at 17500 US dollars.. It took them 6 months to diagnose the issue working with VW in Germany.

Turns out the dealer has only 2 years warranty..

ya, its not hard to find a front clip in the states...

start with junk yards in the states - first find cars at junk yards here: www.car-parts.com then start making calls

also call LKQ auto parts. google them.

if you provided pictures then people on here can sell you what they have.......etc...especially things like headlights front fenders, oem suspension, etc....

good luck.

Send me the pics and I may be able to help.
I have a front clip already cut up.Shipping and handling is much less.
The right side is undamaged. The inner fender structure is complete to the door.
The left side I kept only the front rail section.

The complete radiator support, fans, radiator, condenser, fenders and a CF hood, headlights.. I can source locally and get it to my freight forwarder in Miami.

Keep as much of the little stuff [12mm, 10mm bolts plastics clips etc....else they will take your lunch.
