The INTERNATIONAL PARTS NAME TRANSLATOR

[Fbodywarehouse]

I thought this would be a great subject and think it could be an asset to you guys and also us over here in the states and abroad. As most of you have noticed while car parts are the same all over the world what we call them may be totaly different so the purpose of this post is to list the part and the American name Australian name and names folks in other areas of the world may call the part.

USA                         Australian
Hood                       Bonnet
Fender                     ????
Door                        ????
Rear Quarter Panel    ????
Bumper                    ????
Radiator Support       ????

Please feel free to add to the list and will be neat to watch this list grow!
