    Even if this is more of a "fix and repair" question, I'm posting here since it's more likely the mod crowd can help.

    I crashed my Copen against someone's tow hook so I'm looking for +a bumper radiator + condenser + slam panel. Problem is that it's a 1.3, and second hand parts are much harder to find than for the 660. Zero parts available locally and to order through a dealer is several thousands of euros. How hard is it to fit the 660cc front end? Has anyone here ever done it or had to work on both models? What are the major differences?

    I know for sure that the slam panel for the 1.3 has a bigger cutout near the exhaust manifold and a different bracket for the coolant overflow tank. Is there anything else?

    And how about the radiator, is it bigger for the 1.3 or similar? I don't want to end up with an overheating engine.

    Thanks for any help!
