Where can I get a replacement bumper for my Chrysler 300C?

I have a new Chrysler 300C. Fabulous value for money car but unfortunately, I had an accident in March. To my frustration, no one seems to be able to supply a new front bumper - they are on "worldwide back order". Everyone from the repairers to Chrysler UK seem powerless to get one shipped over from The States despite new cars still being produced over there. Surely there is some sort of regulation that says if you distribute cars in the UK / EU, you must have a supply chain for parts too?

I understand its a problem for all Chryslers - something to do with the difficulties they and their parts suppliers got into in 2008?

There is. There has to be a "reasonable" supply of parts fort 10 years, but it's actually unenforceable. Try 'Findapart' who might be able to locate one from a crashed 300C.
