You could put a add in Wanted, put what colour your after, & you should get some offers.

Dealer will supply new front wings,but be seated when asking for a price! These have been re-manufactured using the original,worn,tooling and may well require 'fettling' by a skilled metalworker to fit correctly.I'm told that the problem area is the front leading edge by the bonnet.
Pattern wings are also available from suppliers such as Beaver Panels,and these WILL need fettling to get a decent fit,but are very much cheaper.

be careful of pattern wings as they are made of poorer grade steel.I had some on my e34 and they were properly rustproofed but every chip rusted quickly and spread if you didnt catch it.Good second hand genuine are the best option. Welcome by the way
