A few questions, planning on the prior design black series body kit.

In the not too distant future, I'm planning on getting the prior design black series body kit for my 52 reg 500, I've seen a really good post on here, one installed from start to finish but a question or two remains, what's an average price for a body shop to get their hands on this kit, paint and fit it (UK, Essex)? They come with the front fenders as a complete piece, however I'm unsure about the rear arches, from what I've seen they're just extension pieces that somehow need to be bonded to the existing arches, or am I missing something? If that's the case, the fuel filler door isn't the same shape and would be partly covered by the new arches, does the fuel filler door need to be cut before they're installed?
Also, wheels? I'm wanting some that don't look lost inside the big arches, but don't rub round corners at the same time, I'm torn between the multi spoke or some like these

What size would be good, I take it I would need spacers as well? I just don't want them to look tiny. Thanks in advance.

You have no responses probably because I'm not sure there is a single person from the UK on this forum, let alone Essex. Although my great-great-grandfather lived in Great Parndon.

i dont know about the cost in GBP, but for the kit (~$4800 shipped to UK) and install i would estimate total cost to be about $7000-8000
