Well after my meeting with a kerb last month this is part of what happened! Can't move the car at the moment as it's in bits and I'm waiting on struts to arrive this week, so I can't get into a bodyshop to have it looked at yet. I've never had any bodywork damage on any of my cars, so I'm pretty unknowledgeable on whats fixable and whats not! Any ideas and recommendations? And yes i have some new rubber on the way!

Wing is easy enough to replace. I'd be more concerned with the suspension damage - is that wheel still attached to the car?

Nah its all in bits now, just waiting on a new strut, the wheel was still attached in the pic by the lower mounting on the strut. We were actually on our way out to do a shoot, and the only pics i came home with were ones of my messed up wheel etc!

Cheers Wayne, I do actually know someone that can get from Dingbro, are they genuine BMW? Seems rather cheap?
The near side strut has just been done, got the car back to a drivable state but I'm gonna need the driver side strut done also, what make are the ones you have as I'm lookin for Boge Auto shockers. |

I'm pretty sure they are Boge shocks will get them out of the shed as for the wing i'm not so sure i searched for a month or two most were good as a hundred quid my bruv used to work for auto glass so he got it for me (from dingbro) he reckoned it was genuine regardless i got it on lines up good i just cant afford the paint
will private mail my number i'm in town most days can take the shocks with me but if you want a look at the wing you will need to come down she's off the road till i get some savin done even more so |

if it's from Dingbro there's a very good chance that the wing will be made by Hadrian Panels, one of the biggest non-OEM manufacturers of body parts http://www.carpanels.co.uk/

Haha yup, did spot this the other day...
I've spoken to a few people with em for sale and i'm a bit confused as to which ones are actually genuine.... I see there are a lot of replica's and *genuine* that have the ///M logo between the wheel nuts, and others (like the ones on the link) without and have BMW engraved on them, confusing much!? |
