Does anyone have a N/S front wing in good condition? Car is Mica blue but will respray if not.
I will have one next week. I am taking mine off and replacing them with new as part of a resto. Ill assess the condition when its off and let you know. Externally it looks excellent...ill have a look at the inside when its off.
Its metallic sky blue so will need spraying
I've just ordered some fibreglass wings from carbenfibrecreations.co.uk . £150 for the pair , hopefully they'll be a good fit.
Thats a good price, hope they fit well as i might be interested in a set myself. :)Quote:

The fibreglass wings I have purchased were moulded from a set of original wings that I still have (saving for rainy day project/resto) so I am also interested to see how the fit, I will report back. Forgot to mention, I was given a slight discount on the purchase from carbenfibrecreations.
Also worth mentioning that they stated they would be happy to make other Mk1 products on a group buy basis.
Yes please let me know how you get on when you remove the wing. It looks like you aren't too far away distance wise which always helps. Thanks.
Will do :-)
Hi there.
I took my wings off today. I couldnt remember which was the better of the two. Unfortunately it was the drivers side that is excellent condition. The passenger side is not so good with rust at the bottom in front and behind the arch. If its any use to you, just let me know and its yours for a drink. If not, sorry i couldnt help.
If you need a drivers one, mine is excellent and would just need prepping and painting...no welding.
Passenger wing....

I have a passenger side one as well mate, fitment isn't great but hey ho. I may even replace it if I can get a hold of a pair of steel wings. Mine sits up too high going down the bonnet :/Quote:
