I don't know of any kit wider than the ones freed on eBay (and I don't think they fit to well). I think on such a project you'll be best to get them fabricated out of sheet steel after the suspension work is done so that they meet the wheels just as you want them. You could probably use a set of wings with spacers on welded to the body or something

What a shame, I had a full brand new body kit for sale but nobody wanted it on here so it went to the council skip

How did the modifications go? I also have a bike engined 126 and have been toying with the idea of widening the track. Who did the suspension mods and has it worked out well? Are you still using the same hubs?
