I'm no expert, I would imagine from the panels I've bought before, that they would be n/a from bmw. I did once get a rear valance from a company called Middleton. However it took a lot of chopping to get it to fit. What kind of result are you trying to achieve?

the car was previously owned by a relation of mine but has been parked up for 4 or 5 years the engine has been completely rebuilt in the last month or so and i have stripped out the interior today. Before i started to cut out pieces i was just curious if there are complete panels. There is also some rot on the tail light surrounding under the boot lid..I am hoping to bring the car to its former glory ..it is goin for a full re-spray in next month or two ..

Ah well if you are going the concourse ish route, I would have a ring around. There are a few places about that offer pattern panels. Just be aware that a) they tend to need a bit of cutting around to make them fit, and b) they tend to be made of old drain covers so good underseal/ rust prevention is a must once fitted.
