I need a replacement front wing for my '95 Laguna and don't particularly fancy waiting 3 days to get my car back and paying £300 ex. VAT to the Renault body shop to do it for me.
Does anyone know of a scrap yards around Bristol that specialise in Renault where I might find one?

You could go to www.breakerlink.com which is a national mail order service for scrapyard parts. That way you'd have a good chance of getting a part in the same colour as your own, which means you *might* get away with not painting it.
Alternatively, you could get a new, pattern part from Euro Car Parts for £25.99 + VAT. In Bristol, they're at Unit 7, Abbeywood Park, Emma Chris Way, BS34 7JU tel 0117 979 2001.
I don't know if you fancy painting it yourself. The big problem with this job, whether you use pattern or scrap parts is that you're likely to need to match the paint with that on the door. Even if you manage to get a wing from a car the same colour as yours, after 8 years you'll find that the paint has probably faded in a different way and you won't get the quality of workmanship.
Why not get a few quotes from an independent bodyshop and see by how much you can reduce the price?
