Replacement panels

[snappo]

Any idea of after market suppliers of replacement panels for the 800GS?

I've had a quick search round on here, but with no joy so far..

I've got a nasty deep gouge on the rear plastic surrounding the petrol cap, it may fill and paint, but I wondered how much a new panel may cost me, and if there were any suppliers other than main dealers?

Cheers gurus!

The panels will fill and paint OK. The mountings will fix back on securely with super glue so there is no real need to buy aftermarket or new paneling.
The BMW paints need an expert finisher to match but these people are not expensive and very helpful. My mistake was trying to do it myself. Halfords spray cans result in bubbling on proper paint an lacquer and will need stripping off. I spent just short of £40 on filler and paint to make very poor repair. My local expert charged £40 to respray a left hand rad panel to like new.
The transfers are the real problem, they are in easily damaged areas and very expensive to buy. Spray both sides and delete any transfers.

There won't be coz they don't list and price every part. Follow the link on the Motorworks website to the BMW OEM fiche (or use this one http://realoem.com/bmw/select.do)

The words "looking for a part?" on the Motorworks home page might be considered a clue

Get the part number then pick up the phone and they'll let you know how much. HTH.
