My Z will be getting painted at the end of the year and I'm going to get new wings as she's a keeper. Auto doc sell various makes but won't sell me them as they say they're too big to ship to Scotland. I'm not paying the BMW price of £550 each. Anyone used a courier or had large items shipped from Germany to the UK?
Help with shipping of wings.

just bear in mind that the ones from BMW will fit better, wings from any other source will be pattern parts with all the associated issues that nearly always come with them.
not quite the same situation as you, but I recently shipped a rear E86 wing from NI to England, and basically the only courier that I could find that would do it for me was UPS. It was costly enough, but many couriers won't ship them either due to panels being easily damaged, or the size of package is too big. Try UPS.

I'd actually thought of driving over to Germany and picking them up myself but they wouldn't accommodate me. After reading the replies re the quality of after market wings, I'm now scouring eBay for a decent pair. Trouble is, all I see are wings with corrosion in the same place, around the top of the wheel arches. Seriously thinking of taking them off in the winter and trying to deal with the rust myself before I get the car painted in the spring. If only sacrificial anodes worked on cars lol.
