Only place for a convertable one will be BMW,who can only sell you a full quarter panel,be seated when asking;
'HOW much?'
However,if you have the skills,a pattern arch repair panel is available;
Seen here being prep'd to fit my cabbie,but not by me!

You may be able to enlarge my photo to read the label,but it's either a Beaver or a Hadrian panel.
Bear in mind that the cill section is the wrong shape for a cabbie,but a skilled bodyman can manage.

How much was this and what's the diffrence for the sill bit and it shouldn't matter as I'm changing my passenger sill later on anyway

The O/S rear quarter is £259 from cotswolds, the thing is last week there was only one left
so you better be quick, I bought one a few weeks back but no longer need it so if you get stuck PM me.

Cabbie's have a deeper cill section.
Cannot remember just how much we paid,but it was less than £100 a side for the repair panel.
Real cost is in the fitting.
