why didn't you ask them what condition is what in before you bought it?

i would email them telling them whats wrong with it and they'll probably claim off the courier.

It was sent with royal fail

I didnt see it in enough time and didnt want to risk having his friends bid it up

The other thing is that it was quite cheap

Can you use it? If it was cheap enough can you make it good for less than would have cost you otherwise?

Yes - keep it
No - complain

Either work with what you've got or send it back, nothing else to it.

Send it back and find another. They must be all over the place. I could go out now and find a wing for a Corsa B I reckon.

i would get down your local breakers and take one off a car there, scrap yards are piled high with corsa b's at the moment, will be cheaper than ebay and you can decide which you want before paying, chances are the postage cost you more than a wing from a breakers would have lol

oh and for the one you have just say its buggered and claim through paypal, paypal always backs the buyer in these cases, if they say to send it back tell them to have the courier that broke it collect it as the courier will require evidence to back the claim the seller will need to make for the damage as you are not going to pay more money out when you have already paid for a wing and got some scrap metal instead

Tbh, your own fault.

Did it say it was an in good condition?

Should have asked for more pics.

You took a risk of getting it cheaper and paid the ultimate price.
