Default "Cheap" Body Panels?

Where can I get some "cheap" panels (front headlight panel, roof)??

I really don't need them anytime soon, just for future reference when I want to "perfect" my 951. As of now it's a driver, but I'd like to turn it into a nice show car once I win the lottery.

Maybe my best bet is just finding a parts car or something?

Well not the sunroof panel itself, although I could use one as well just for the hell of it.

I'm looking for the surrounding area of the roof more specifically..

The PO obviously had a run-in with some hail, which left me with a dented hood, front header(the part covering the intercooler), and some minor dents on the roof area, but the sunroof panel seems to have held up well...

I still need to talk to a paintless dent repair shop, but I'm just feeling around to see what's out there...

to cut the roof off and reweld that panel, you would be better off to get a body shop to skim it and spray it. Not gonna hurt anything if they do it right. The sunroof is fiberglass so its not gonna ding up.
