Front wings are relatively easy to change, so my advice would be to find a replacement wing from a Bongo that is being broken. I know this is a passenger side wing, but £46 is good value compared to get the existing one repaired & sprayed:

Give Bellhill a call & see if they can get you a drivers side wing to match.

Nope.

It does for some reason look like its a seperate panel at the bottom end but not the case, its all part of the wing.

As already said though, a pretty cheap fix - short term.

i've just had 2 complete rear arches fitted and a full respray (the rust damage was much worse than your photo!)
the guy that did is not a million miles away from you and a well respected Bongo man, sales,mechanics and bodywork.
Ian Taylor, Market Drayton.
highly reccomend his work, if it's good sound advice your after, he's the man.

Bongonaught - roughly how much did that cost you? I need the same, well for me it's the inner and outer wheelarch panels rusted.
