Hello all. In need of some help with regards to body panels for a e30 2door.
The chap who lives next door to me has a e30 set in his garage with some body damage as a result of his son taking it out without his father's consent and putting it in a garden!

He is talking about getting it removed from his garage as he is getting on in years now and I was just looking to see if I may be able to get some new panels to have it repaired.

Kind regards

The car will need

N/s wing
N/d door
N/s quarter
Front bumper (sport)
Rear bumper (sport)
All lower trim for the near side (sport)

If I take is on as a project I would like to have new panels fitted as there is only 11,000 miles on it. Can you get new panels from bmw?

Genuine Bmw wings are poor quality?
