If you can get the wing repaired thats the way to go cos you wont get the bead of sealer on the wing to slam panel to look original. Get a pic up for us to have a look at first be for you go and buy mate.

AFAIR they had something like several hundred so no risk of running out of them anytime soon.

I think sometimes UK dealers say something is not available when it's not in the Ford UK warehouse but in one of german ones.

m8 that could be repaired. might be worth speaking to jacko that posted above. he seem's to get a lot of praise on here for his bodywork. might be a bit away from you but would be better in the long run to get somebody that understand's it's a lot more than an old escort..
