Ordered replacement fairing... fingers crossed
Ordered these in exactly the same original colour. Just been packaged and posted so will take around a week to hit the UK. All in, £235 notes, that's for supply, spraying and decals in exactly the same as below.
Reason I've ordered a new set? I dropped my bike on a gravel drive before Xmas and it's scratched the fairings. As the bike is otherwise MINT, I thought for the price keep the old set for tracking and these new set for general use.
Will post some pictures etc when they're received. Anyone else buy from these places?

Good luck Pug, its not too bad a job redoing the fairings, but def take it slowly like cookml said, I also got new bolts washers grommets etc at the same time and found that made the whole job nicer.
I got my matt black fairings from these guys as a comparison and was very happy with the service, wasn't happy with the original tail/left fairing they sent as as they got damaged in transit and they sent me new ones no questions asked so i've got a few spares!!
Anyway enjoy the refit, keen to see pictures of the result...
Cheers

Well, parts are at customs UK for last 2 days, hopefully they'll send out today, so early next week, it's new kit time. Yeah I've bought a new bolt kit just so it looks sweet. Will use a day next week, get all fairing off and put this new one on... will take a while as I wanna clean all the bike underneath bigtime... and also my blue LED's need peeling off and sticking back on :-) Praying the colour is the perfect match for the tank... do NOT want the yellow looking odd :-(

Well, collected them today and have to say disappointing... massively...
I wanted to keep the original colour on the bike, it's a 1 year colour and thus... deserves to be kept that way... where my bike is metallic turquoise these new ones are metallic blue (actually lovely looking BUT NOT ORIGINAL)... and the yellow (at night as I was outside now) seems the lighter flat yellow of F4i's NOT the pearl darker yellow of my bike...
Quality of the parts is good, no defects, paint job is acceptable, all in they're nice BUT the yellow is NOT going to match my tank I don't think... GUTTED!!!!
So, what to do now...
Will take some pictures side by side for you guys tomorrow, see what you think, it'll also show the quality of the product... been so looking forward to this :-(
