where to buy new upvc panel (inset) for front door

I have a white aluminium door which is of good quality and in v.good condition which cost around £700, but the upvc inset has gone off colour over the years. Had a few D/Glazing quotes to replace the panel but they are quite expensive starting at around £300 for a new inset with bevelled top glass. Is this reasonable or does anyone know where I would get something cheaper.

    My mil had the same problem and found that she got totally confused by the advice and quotes that she got. The biggest problem was the number of variations.
    In the end she got back to the original installer, who got the inset from the original manufacturers and of course, as a result it fitted perfectly.
    Suggest you go back to the original manufacturers if at all possible.

    One of my quotes was from the original installer who wasnt the most expensive, and we also had a window repair company look at it. Of course we would need some sort of guarantee with the work done.
