Re: removal of front wings
hard one to answer really. are yours that bad?
I recently bought a pair for £90 (I know you don't want to hear that) so they do turn up. i have repaired them and they are for my car in the future.

Re: removal of front wings
Cant believe you got a pair for £90 , I have bid on wings on e bay up to £250 for one and still lost out. Now they were genuine BMC stock spares, never fitted.

Re: removal of front wings
Might be worth contacting Rae Davis or Paul Clayton. The academy cars (and there must be 60+) have fibreglass wings and therefore should be plenty of wings around.

Re: removal of front wings
well it was not like that. I bought the nearside wing from this seller on the south coast for £70, so drove down one weekend early. he was stripping the car and I asked what was he doing with the offside wing which was there as well. he said "do you want it". I said yes and explained I only had £90 cash on me so I came home with both.Will@Lisburn wrote:Cant believe you got a pair for £90 , I have bid on wings on e bay up to £250 for one and still lost out.

I repaired both in the usual places and they are done now (in primer). I plan to fit them on the car in the future when I get the chance as they are better than whats on the car. these will be up for grabs in the future.

Have not been on here for a long time. But now I am self isolating for 12 weeks due to Covid I might make an effort and progress the van.

Re: removal of front wings
The supplier had 'the' new - old stock O/S wing for sale on Facebook last month... Added to that, Robert Prinn's investigations into furthering the project drew a blank, so I've a feeling it's permanently on hold...gazza82 wrote:... last we heard it was on hold due to supplier's other commitmentsWill@Lisburn wrote:Does anyone know how the steel wing manufacturing project is progressing

Re: removal of front wings
I was just checking what I still need in terms of spares. Need n/s wing and n/s sill. I thought I had previously got those items but maybe not. So no progress on manufacturing new steel wings.

Re: removal of front wings
Hi
We are not going to be taking the manufacturing of front wings any further for now.
At £800 per wing, a turn around time of 1 year, and with very little interest, we decided not to go any further with these.
