General Fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks Fairly full on. Far from just an engine fire 
Could have been anything that caused it though inc arson. Fairly hot though to have melted the bonnet like that.

dont think its melted more than likely been mangled by the fire service
Nah it's completely detached the skin at the scuttle end on the OS, fire service damage would just be near the front from experience.
Ashame they didn't read your fire extinguisher thread

The rear ones look ok! Maybe you can find the guy online. Thats definately a write off, and it would be interesting to know how that happened. It doesnt look like just an engine fire as has been mentioned before.

I think it is obvious what happened. This unfortunate did not read The Winter Tyre Thread and so failed to fit appropriate rubber for the recent snowy weather. This meant that the driver simply spun his wheels without moving until the heat in the tyres built up to the point of spontaneous combustion. And the rest is history...
Damn straight!
I thought that the ordinary tyres worked best in warmer temps.
I think you may have it about face, I imagine he spun his winter tyres and once they reached temps in excess of 7C they caught fire, lol. ps. I thought that only people could spontaneously combust.

You present a powerful counter-argument. Could you provide some links to back this up though? :chin:
Ha! Ha! When did we ever need proof. The speculation card will always trump that.
Finally I've learned why FIAT chose to name it the FIRE engine... (groan).

Look at the corrosion on the top of those shocks....
I think it must have had a recent brake fluid change as the fluid doesn't appear to have boiled.

I have a new theory: over-enthusiastic 1.3 Multijet owner fed up waiting for the car to warm up.
