Default Wing damage

Any suggestions? Leaving a car park, car swings in, driver looking the other away. I stop and watch in disbelief as they continue to drive while head over one shoulder. Surely they must see me thinks I. No! Not even leaning on the horn has an effect. Large bang = crumpled wing, side light gone and damaged headlight. Full responsibility taken, their insurance paying. Yipee (well almost)!

Since then, identified good garage to do the work but they are having trouble getting the parts, weeks have now passed since the accident and still no sign of a wing, supposedly coming from Japan. It's an import (horror).

Car is a 1998 Version IV WRX STi RA limited. Anyone know where I could help by getting a wing?

Wings are identical; but dealers regularly pull this ****e (from Japan instead of from stock); the bodyshop should know better.
