Default Walsall breakers

Thanks to some moron damaging my wing when parked - and didn't leave apology - I had to find a replacement. Have just picked one up and in same colour from We love MGFS near Walsall for £55. (bought via eBay but can be found at Lime La, Walsall WS3 5AS, tel 01543 377174.) They seemed to have 3 shedfulls of bits, panels hanging on the walls, racks of other parts etc. Specialise in R75s. Sprayer would have charged me £320 so am well pleased (9 bolts to undo and Bob's yer proverbial).

Five mins down the road from me but I don't use them as they are a little high on price!

So it would appear - the last Rover75 front wing I bought was all of fifteen quid.
