If you cant find one as theyre hens teeth, speak with Nurse Julie, she has a supplier that are quite cheap and make repo ones that are brilliant. I bought a pair earlier in the year to be painted and theyre really good. Send her a PM, I cant remember the name of the place. Rec :)ommended though

Hi

This site on Ebay sells different classic side panels in the UK which might help you source what you re looking for

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385035635944?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338749392&toolid=20006&customid=GB_131090_385035635944.139652105680~1454760201034-g_EAIaIQobChMIirL1oqfg-QIV7pBoCR2kdAvNEAQYASABEgJqFPD_BwE

I do have 2 x side panel Transfers that I decided not to put on my 550 k3 but they for Candy Pesto Red colour scheme

I lost a side panel a few weeks ago in what sounds like the same way I retraced my ride on the same day  going in the opposite direction but didn't find it.  Went out again 2 days later with a passenger in the car and we spotted it about 5 miles from the house I was very lucky I must do what Ken has Suggested to stop them coming off

Hope it helps you

Regards

Thanks, yes that's the one I've been recommended, and have ordered one. Now need to get it painted and a transfer on.

By the way, what is the suggestion to stop them coming off??
On my original '76 550F1 I covered over 20k miles in 2 years and never lost one !!!

Imagine a piece of sreel rod bent to the shape of a capital R, the straight leg goes through a hole in the panel(or axle shaft &castle nut hole) whilst the curved leg fits against the outside

Hello, I could help you with the stickers, but as with the painting I have to warn you of something, if you are only going to paint a cover the stickers will be a little different from one side to the other, you will not find any supplier that sells a kit of stickers that are exact to the original ones, so if you are a maniac you will notice that difference ...... it would be convenient to paint the two covers and that the stickers were the same........
