Does any one know of any places that do E30 body parts in the north west? (I need a front wing) and of any decent sprayers?

thanks jon

hi mate it might be a long shot but you not tried scrappers. Not sure where you are in north west but i know that there is a few in Altham industrial estate car yards near padiham/accrington.

Actually now i think there is also boundary garage here are there details:

Boundary Garage
Burnley Road
Loveclough, Rossendale
Lancashire. BB4 8RG.

Telephone:- 01706 215588

They have a massive store of parts, its a joke how much stuff they have.

Good luck

Eurocarparts one is only a pattern wing, and is likely to be thinner and inferior fit to a genuine wing, and you still have to paint it.
Good, used wing in the right colour, from a breakers is best.
Be sure to use panel sealant between the wing and the rest of the car when you fit it.

How easy would it be to remove and fit a wing? I am in the same dilemma. Dont really want to pay Ԛ£150 - Ԛ£200 to have one sprayed 8O
