Wing skin replacement and paint
Well the shiyte stock bumper cap nudged the wing skin enough to cause a crease that I don't think I can bang out, so to speak. My understanding is that the wing skin can unbolt from the rest of the wing for replacement.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the wing skin pre painted in Keswick?

I don't think you'll get a new one off the shelf from anywhere. If you're lucky, you might pick up a second hand one in the right colour or I guess a body shop could supply and paint one for you. Darren

New genuine ones are supplied in primer and will need to be sprayed to match. They're also usually uncomfortably expensive!

Second-hand ones do show up from time to time, but it is rare to find one in perfect condition (since of course usually they come off scrappers, and the accident that wrote off the vehicle is almost certain to have damaged the wings). Provided you are prepared to wait and pay a realistic price, a second-hand one can generally be sourced.

You do not say which side but SP 4X4 do both sides for your model for a reasonable price with free postage for 79.95 + vat which I think is a good price with free postage, easy to fit a wing skin they just bolt on.

As Blackwolf suggests some recon parts can be of use.
But you'd have to be careful that it is 100% straight as you'd expect, it'd of course need re-painting too.

Keep an eye on Thornton breakers.

Otherwise, it'd be new in primer. No Guts, No Glory.

Good second-hand nearside wings are even harder to find than offside wings in my experience. I guess the n/s is the one people use to hit walls, hedges etc!

I replaced the side part of the wing on my 300tdi

I even managed to unbolt it without unbolting the whole wing - but i'd advise test fitting before painting - i had to enlarge some of the bolt holes to get it to fit properly.

It was painted seperately and carefully rebolted - easy enough for a novis.

The part was about £80 from ebay - can't remember which brand?

Unbolting the whole wing may be easier though...
