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.
