ndg Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I've had a search of the forum, but can't find much since 2015. Who do people recommend to supply replacement front wings for tourings/saloons? I've just bought a 330i touring and it has a few paint issues. One of the front wings has gone, and both bumpers need some love, so I'm planning on getting it all sprayed together. I'm normally an OE guy, but at £177 from Cotswolds I'm considering pattern parts if anyone can recommend somewhere that does decent quality parts, which fit like OE? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I found a mint, and I mean mint front wing for my 03 330d on a Facebook group. The guy seemed to have a load of quality bits. Meant a drive to Portsmouth though but for 40 quid already in titan silver, it was worth it Oh and it was OEM Edited October 9, 2017 by Markus5000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I paid £150 a side for my genuine wings from bmminiparts but they've taken a SERIOUS nose dive recently. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them now. In this instance though they were new wings in black primer shipped straight from Germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndg Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Cheers, Unfortunately, BMMini can no longer supply wings. Would have been a useful saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachu Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I have a facelift non genuine wing drivers in orient blue if your interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndg Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Just to conclude this thread. I bought a 'platinum panel' from ECP. The fit at the front and rear was good, but the shape on the bonnet line was terrible. I ended up returning it, and have now bought a genuine one from the dealer . I Paid £172 inc VAT, as a reference for anyone considering this. Not cheap, but at least I know it will fit........ momo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Maybe @Cotswoldbmwmini could offer a discount for these parts on the forum here for members? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndg Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I tried them, £5 cheaper, but I decided it was worth it to avoid couriers denting stuff and pretending itwas pristine when I received it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 They're supposed to offer a 10% discount to paid members on the forum so should be cheaper than that. But yes, there's always the chance the courier ruin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndg Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Yeah, I get a bit of discount at my local dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
