Gents - do any of you up there know anything about, or have had any dealings with, Lothian Autoparts in Livingston?

I've been looking for a new o/s front wing for the E91 (I haven't mentioned on here why, yet) and they have one on ebay. It's not cheap but it's also not too expensive.

Just wondered if anyone's had any dealings with them. Obviously I can't really go and check it out given the distance, but I'm willing to take a punt if they seem like a reasonable outfit.

plenty of positive feedback and information, not exactly much risk in giving it a go. I bought a door on ebay for the wife’s 320d - it was perfect and because it was the right colour and age, it went on easily and all matched

Cheers gents.

As it happens, just been told it's a new pattern part, so I need to keep on with the search. Poo

I bought two front wings from them for my Golf to replace the rusty originals.

They're a pattern part like you say. They were okay. Fine on a cheap car, but fit wasn't quite as good as the originals and quality wasn't quite as good either.
