Thanks! The Williams is a "2" with 126000 miles although it had a top end rebuild when the head gasket failed so new cambelt,valve guides,clutch,engine out for that it's easier!!! Later on that year a Megane drove into the drivers side so new qtr panel was fitted along with new n/s arch and...
An Aston wing badge is crazy money as well!! I know the splitter is specific to the cup and made in small batches probably by a sub-contractor but so is the Porsche item! Contacting TPS tomorrow for a skoda one!
