Nottm is correct, it can be painted for you off the car but it will likely not have a complete colour match as paint fades over time and looks different because of different painting styles.

I think it cost around £1,000 all in for my front wing replacement/paint job.

Of course, if you are lucky, you might find a decent wing in a breaker's in the correct colour!

No guarantee it will exactly match; age, fading, etc.

They are straightforward to fit, but patience required to get the alignment right.

i picked up a near colour match on the e-auction website for £80 delivered,

its not the greatest match but i could have done much worse for the cost.

It will do until i gather everything a need to get a full respray *hint hint Whaninoz*

Bring it down for a quote anytime Rich, always nice to have more S's around the garage.

I'm in the same boat, someone decided to drive into mine whilst it was parked outside a friends house.
