Front Replacement Panel for Early Super?

Well after stripping and repairing my roof and then respraying it, the rest of my car looks like crap. So onto the next bit. Has anyone got a good source for the front panel from the heart down? I have come across a few from the usual alfa parts suspects but they seem to have cutouts in the lower valance that I dont think the early cars had.
Anyone bought one or know where I can get one?

Derek, my `65 Ti has cutouts (2) under the bumper, so I doubt Supers are any different, especially looking at the mere year difference between your car & mine.
I`m sure I saw EB Spares in UK offering front panels as does Highwood and probably Classic Alfa. All 3 are excellent to deal with and tend, it appears to me, to price match. EB Spares though are cheaper and avoid posting prices on their site to I suspect avoid this price matching. I have a hunch that they also source and supply the others.

That'd be right. My front panel has been bodgied even more than I thought!
Thanks Richard, I might shoot off an email to them and see what they say. I hate it when postage is close to the price of the item. Do you think this panel can be replaced without reefing the engine? Maybe just the radiator and a few of the other bits at the front?

I don`t think you need to remove anything but the radiator and assoc front bits & pieces Derek.
