Default Breaker of Volvo recommended?

I picked up a very cheap S40 yesterday and it needs a wee bit of trim and two front wings in black.

My question is twofold, can anyone tell me the name or part number for the trim that sits in front of the rear passenger wheel, it is unpainted on mine but it looks like it clips on and off.

My other questions is, who is a decent reliable Volvo Breaker? I have messaged a few places on eBay about wings and received nowt in return, I realise these guys may be under cars so just someone who will wrap up parts well and not take the mickey. I am in Scottish Borders so I guess close to me would be ideal.

Many Thanks

I've found Mike at HUddersfield Volvo Breakers very good. Attentive service, and always quick, tracked delivery.

Run like hell from any specialist breakers yard unless you like to pay through the nose.
To most normal breakers yards they will be parts from just some old Volvo and cheap as chips.
