Default Please help me get my crossfire back on the road

I've bought a accident damaged crossfire and I need some help please getting it back on the road... (this will be my 2nd crossfire)

These are the parts I think I need but I'm not a mechanic so any advice would be appreciated...

A Front bumper
Passenger side headlight
Bonnet
Crossmember,
Slam Panel

If you have any of these or know where I can get them please let me know.

Now that long bar going accross the front (thats the crossmember right?) its a bit bent here and there, would I be able to get that straightened out or would I need a new one? and at what cost?
What is a slam panel and do you think my car needs it replacing?
I have 2 spaners showing on the dash, that's a major service isn't it? (could someone please tell me what that involves)
The spoiler is stuck in the up position at the moment I tried to retract it via the button on the dash but the light is flashing and nothing happens... is this just a fuse or is that broke as well do you think?

I appreciate it's a bit hard to diagnose by those crappy photo's i'll try and take some decent pictures and post... the problem is that I cant take it to the body shop yet as I've not located any parts. I am based in UK but i'd consider buying from US if price is right.

Thanks guys....

As much as I hate to say this, I do not think you are going to be to *affordably* part an XF back together with parts from across the pond, especially ones that large and expensive to ship.

Also, there is a shortage of several body pieces, not sure exactly which ones tho....

Good luck, hate to see an XF destroyed like that

Good luck, friend. I think the front fascia and rear fascia have been on national back order for months.

The double spanner (or wrench to us colonials) service is simply an oil & filter change, along with inspection of some other basics, such as cabin air filter, intake filter, other typical fluids like power steering, etc.

Just out of curiosity, what did you pay for it?
