Hello y’all,

Does anyone know where to get body panels for a 453? I love the mellow yellow color.

Have you tries a smart dealership. I really doubt you’ll find, any used one out there.

Good luck.

Good luck, and happy hunting!
The bodywork on my 453 was pretty rough, so I started looking for replacement panels right after I bought it.
I had to give up, and just had the OEM panels painted...

You ar4e lucky. My black 451 has a driver's side front fender that is damaged and needs replacement. If I cannot find a black one, I will buy a p0air of red, yellow or white panels. But I prefer the originals

If you get them in White: you might start looking like a Patrol Cruiser...

At least I will have two panels. Do you know where I can get them?

Sadly: I don't know of a source for 453 panels...

This site doesn't show photos and the black ones which I need are color-impregnated. Don't know if these folks really have them

Smart madness might have 451 panels.
(Sorrry: I didn't realize which model you had...)

All I need is one for the driver's side, can be used/a take-off. If i can't find black, I would consider buying a pair in red, blue yellow or (sigh!) white.
