returning to my parked Cooper today I found that some kind soul had clipped the the rear offside wing damaging the black plastic trim around the wheelarch.............are these available in sections or do you have to buy the whole trim?

I think you can buy them in sections it depends on the dealer to be honest. But if you can't get them in pieces try asking about for people who might be selling their arches. Or contact a shop that sponsers or advatise on this site.

Sorry to hear about the incident

Yes you can.
All the plastic is fairly cheap, only problem is if the colour doesn't quite match due to fading. If your car is fairly new it should be OK. If not, you can match it in with bumper shine stuff

It was very inexpensive to buy a trim piece and it was also easy to fit (took about 2 minutes) BMW wanted to charge £60 for it.....
