Default Front wing - How much to replace/fix?

Hello all,

I've just been a complete muppet an damaged my drivers side front wing on a pole in a car park. Funnily enough on the same spot that was damaged by someone else when I was parked. So at least I'm rid of one problem. But this new one is slightly bigger.

So how much am I looking at to replace the wing? Any estimate would be appreciated. I'd do a search but I'm moving today and don't have access to my laptop etc.

Will upload pics when I can.

If you're selling one I need it in MCB

Thank you.

At a guess i would say that a wing would be around £200, then £180-200 for paint.

Total £380-400

Yea I saw Floppy is selling his for £125 which isn't as scary as I'd thought. But yea painting will be the expensive bit.

I am indeed selling my front wing. It's also at Whaninoz' dad's bodyshop so could be painted if needed. Where are you based?

Based in Bristol. Is it the drivers side? And being arch rolled will it be visibly different to the other wing? (I'm quite a newb)

It is the drivers side wing and I very much doubt it will look any different due to the roll as there is no wobble in it at all, its perfect.

To get the best match you'd want to paint it on your car and blend to adjacent panels, in this case the door and bonnet probably. I'd budget £300-£400 for paint, fitting is a bolt on job

I can ask about price or maybe Whaninoz will get back on that one. I'm in Northamptonshire, which is 2-2.5 hours from Bristol.
