Front wing replacement

 Mostly Holland. Sometimes UK.
Been meaning to address the front left wing for a while now after receiving a tap and subsequent ding from an impatient driver coming through a chicane towards me here in NL. Grr.
There’s also the slightest sign of bubbling at the bottom edge.

I think a repair/ respray is out as the ding is on a creaseline.

Came across a ‘genuine’ E85 unpainted/unused wing on a 2nd hand site here for €150 but not sure how to confirm provenance. Does this label look legit? Seller doesnt have any bill of sale.

Also, any difference between facelift model?

It's the correct part number alright but how can you guarantee it's not just a cheap Chinese ebay copy?
I could make one of those labels too!
:lol:
I was more curious about whether there are any telltale signs to tell if it's genuine other than getting a metal thickness guage on it maybe...

You try and help someone and they through back in your face :roll:

How am I supposed to know what bloody gauge (not guage :poke: ) it is Christopher!! :P
I know what you mean though, you can only hope it is a genuine wing orrrr buy a good 2nd hand one :thumbsup:

Thx but I'm actually based in Holland. Bit of a chew just for a dent.
No-one here seems to do paintless dent removal here weirdly.
