The body shop replaced my FFE hood due to an accident. The bottom side of the new hood looks nothing like the original hood.
I am concerned that the new hood might be heavier and reduce the range of the vehicle. How can I determine if the new one is correct?
The body shop showed me the invoice where they orded CP9Z*16612*B
But the hood has stamped on it "16854" above the numbers "8 7 W2" and also "M9 1180"
The original hood looked like a thin sheet of metal attached to a sparse metal frame.
The new hood appears to have a full sheet of metal on the underside, which is one of the reasons I am concerned about the added weight.
I cannot find any references to ford focus hoods with part number 16854.
Any advice would be appreciated.
