Keep an eye on and search back through the for sale section here. There has been fairings and other bodywork for sale over the last few weeks. Also ebayand the likes. And if you do end up going to suzuki, go to robinsonsfoundry.co.uk. Speak to james, tell him your a member here and you get 10% off.

Ebay, if your wanting OEM as they come up as full sets for under £200 regularly.

What you have to bare in mind with the bodywork from BBplastics, Twinshack and Ricambi wiess (they're the biggest 3 in Europe) is mainly for racing and are very thin and very easy to break.
There is also resparying which won't be cheap as its bondo upwards. Its roughly £150 a panel and £100 for the tank (if needs done) so your talking £700 for that before bodywork, so say a grand total.

The problem i have is that my paint scheme was a one year only in 2009 so the panels are quite rare so it looks like i might have to go the dealer way :smt072

mate get a set in the close colour and have a respray, as to pre-prepped its a bit cheaper

I would definitely look into the painting route. Might be cheaper/easier.
Cant suggest any other places to get the panels though.
