Default Capri parts, best place to buy?

Hi all, I've recently bought a Capri that was left abandoned on a drive way, I'm struggling to find anywhere that sells new front valances though so, anyone know where I can find one or any other parts that may be useful for gettin it back up to scratch?

You won't find a pattern from valance for a capri, assume it's mk3, as they were ford only part for some reason. You may find a genuine one on eBay but prices are now close to Ł500. There was a guy local to me who was fabricating them by hand and selling a fair bit cheaper on eBay so try eBay too.
Only other option is a second hand one cut off a scrap car, try caprigear or capri club international but the later will be expensive! Capri club have also made fibreglass copies that look good. Best join the club they do some good hard to get parts but as said they ain't cheap!

Jay, good point their really good had a few parts too off them Too and their normally at classic ford and ford fair so can collect. Their mk3 capri wings were the best pattern ones iv seen, close to original spec. Plus reasonably priced.
