ARGHHH ,car park rage ......anyone got some spare bits.

Having a severe case of car park rage this afternoon.
Nice sunny afternoon, just nip down to my local halfords to ge some hex adapters.
Well that was the plan, did'nt quite work out that way though.
Parked up in a nice wide and empty bay outsde halford on the superlight, and procceded to go forth and make my megre purchases etc.
15 mins later on my exit from said store I look accross car park, my bikes on the floor.
I make a speedy dash to check out what happened some t**t has back into my bike at quite a speed and flattened it from the front.
I asked around but Nobody else appears to have seen the incident accept the hot dog guy who herd a bang etc and saw a large van driving off from the bay infrount of my bike.
Looks like it was the offending crettin repsonseable.
Out come from this incident has left me in need of the following parts for my superlight.
Front carbon mudguard is wrecked, left hand fairing panel needs a total respray,clutch lever is a bin job left hand rearset and peg is a bin job.
looks like forks are bent back aswell, I don't recall the front tyre being that close to the fairing before, but could be wrong.
Anyone know approx how close the front tyre is in relation to the bottom edge of the the fairings.
So if anyone has any of thesepart for sale, but they must be good condition, drop me a line.
any good bodywork shops in the guildford area for doing bike panel that can be recommeded.
same for fork straightening checking etc.
that about it.
Another life lesson, never take a bike down to you local halfords, or anyother type of car park for that matter. It's an accident (expensive) just waiting to happen.
Peeed of to put it midly.
