chunky63 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Quoted from cook1e Saw these on facebook, Dennis Benson is the seller so they will certainly be cosher... I could do with all these parts but the funds won't stretch that far unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambers Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I saw these and was surprised a company hasnt bought them to re-produce the full inner wing as Im not sure anyone still makes the full piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensH Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Wow.Looking at the parts I have in the shed I might be a wealthy man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc F Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I find that pricing quite sad really. I sold my set of these to an enthusiast who was rebuilding the back end and for 10% of that price. I know it is a free market blah blah blah but that is the price of a tatty running car. It will stop someone using them in an actual rebuild. Disappointing profiteering and i really hope they don't sell for that price. Our cars are for enthusiasts and it will be sad to see them priced out like this. I have the same but for the mk4/1500 sitting in my loft and when someone wants those for a build I will sell them sensibly. What a rip off But i am sure others will disagree with meMarc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I wonder how much similar parts would cost for something like a MX5 or BMW 2 series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc F Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Less than £1800 smackeroonies, and that with dealer margin. Sorry, just looks like profiteering to me. YMMV of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Quoted from Marc F Less than £1800 smackeroonies, and that with dealer margin. Sorry, just looks like profiteering to me. YMMV of course Maybe....But are Stanpart still manufacturing panels????BMW certainly still are. Now their prices are profiteering!They would be best used as panels for proving the quality/fit of replacement ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 BMW E30 rear quarter panels are;Inner arch - £300 / £150 depending on side (one side is distinctly more complicated)Outer Bowl - £140Outer Wing Panel - £420So, double those, add VAT and for the same job on a 1980s BMW you're looking at £1900, and that is assuming there are any in the UK and aren't on special order from Germany.It's a lot of money, but it reflects the growing prices of Spitfires and all classic cars, although I agree, it would be nice if the panels some how go towards reproducing proper panels.Lloyd, where are you??

chunky63 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Good to hear that I'm not the only one who finds the latest prices worrying for all us enthusiasts out there.My rear wings were deseamed back in the 70s and I'm very keen on restoring them back to original specification. These wings and inner panels would of been ideal but it's too pricey for me.Although the pattern wings and outer arches price up at just over £600 and as we know they need work to make them fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc F Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Interesting the view points. I find it sad that parts get priced out of reach. I doubt these are the last available somehow, but if you guys are happy paying those prices then more power to you. And the bmw bits sound complete - whereas the ebay is just for the inners. To that one has to add outer wings and the curved inner wheelatch panels. Very pricey. But I do have some mk3 spit wings if you're interested. My inner wings are for the later model so no good for you at the very back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Marc, the eBay listing is clearly for inner arches, bowls and wings, so exactly the same equivalent of what I quoted from BMW, which is why I chose the E30 coupe as the body construction is similar to the Spitfire in that example.
