Think iirc correctly its about 150 for the panel and about £250 for it to be fitted. Think thats about right. Get a carbon rook mate. lol.

it is the wrong section as its not an engine mod
but its not really styling either
anyway i did mine with a peice of 2mm thick aluminium some sealant and some pop rivets
not exactly the tidyest job as i dont care how it looks as i will be changing the skin eventually
