Copy Wings

Hi all!!

Just re-joined after a loooooong time away! So hope everyone is good out there??

I’m blaming Dano for convincing me to get the rusty lump sorted - Thanks Mate!!

Need some advice on a decent wing for the drivers side - I know VW Heritage sell ones for 82.50 but are they a nightmare to fit???

Got a decent passenger wing but need a drivers and some rear arch panels…. murder what you find when you start with a grinder!!

Thanks for any help!!!

You may have to bite the bullet and pay for the genuine front wings from vw heritage  

Cheers Carl.... was hoping not to spend 300 on a wing.... but maybe needs must???

Not sure what these are like but a little lower in cost.

Cheers!!!     Look good and last one so gonna add them to the ever increasing shopping list!

Just ordered a bit of stuff from Funk-Star after some great advice….. sure I'll be ordering more Mark!!

Was talking to a bodyshop owners a couple of months ago about the front wings on my e46 bmw, very common to go rusty.

He informed me that all pattern parts now have to comply to insurance standard so the days of replacement parts that are more likely to fit the windscreen should be gone

Not sure if this only covers vehicles back to a certain age or all but it should mean that paying full dealer prices for panels isn't a necessity

not all have to comply with thatcham approved
replacement panels

Can you add some clarification to that

Just saying the total opposite of what I said doesn't help anyone with anything

After reading this I done a quick safari search and found this.

Backinblack cheers dude.
Bit of substance is what was needed.

Seems to be the same as every thing else in the world, SHOULD be made to a certain standard but can be purchased as a cheap option without it

Was reading an article this morning about a Chinese replica Arai helmet, the testing results were scary

My god how bad is your driving if you need a helmet
