I've seen a few of these on ebay but at that point of time i didn't have the spare £££ to buy one..now when i'm finally starting to get somewhere with putting my white car back on road..i can't find any..[8|]

Does anyone know where i could find one? Please don't tell me Porscheshop..i'm not ready to invest £1200..[&:]
 
Do you mean like this one on ebay at the moment?

I think it'd be worth contacting Simon at http://www.essentialstyling.co.uk as he's normally able to get good panels at reasonable prices. You might also want to try http://www.clubautosport.co.uk/ as they do a wide range of fibreglass bits. There are more UK firms but they seem to be alluding me at the moment...

Personally I think I'd also look at used genuine parts, with some careful buying I reckon the parts price wouldn't be too bad (even including wings, badge panel and headlight covers) but I suppose the paint job for all this would be a fair bit extra. However it would solve the slightly awkward bumper to badge panel area which always stands out to my eye, and you wouldn't get anoraks pointing to the shape of you wings and tutting [;)]
 
The thing is that there's hardly any signs of age on the front wings etc(exept blemished paint) and the idea of replacing a complete front end..i thought about it..but gave up if a bloke from Prestige Salvage(Leeds) came up with "around £1500"..could buy a rear end damaged S2 for that..right time n place of course..[8|]
 
I fitted the s2 front on my lux years ago,all i bought was the front bumper/headlamps and badge panel and just reshaped the front wings to fit the bumper which was easier than finding a good pair of wings !!
 
It seems a shame to ruin a perfectly good Lux pretending it is an S2 or Turbo.

In Peters case I wouldn't have an issue as his car is more S2 than Lux any way.
