The price has also gone up from £430+VAT to £500+VAT now although I saved 10% through the BMW Car Club membership. I'll bring it along to the Technical Weekend and hopefully get...

Re: Help - My car is cracking up!

Thanks guys for the info. I did a quick check on ebay.de and saw some other body panels but not a front wing. I'll keep an eye out though.
I might just buy a new one if they're still available as I was expecting the price to be much higher than £445 to be honest.
