Front wing options?
« on: January 29, 2014, 03:24:09 pm »
Right I am faced with the common problem of replacing both of my front wings due to rust

Tried going down the VW good will route but the still want over 400 + vat to spray and fit new front wings only which without blending then leaves a very possible colour match problem on a Tornado red car.

I am having my front bumper resprayed so was thinking about replacing both wings at the same time.

So what are my options,

  • Buy new Genuine wings (Around £120 each)
  • Buy insurance approved patterned wing around (around £80 each but not really liking that option)
  • Buy extended fibreglass wings (no idea on price or where can supply them)
  • or go all out and buy some Siebon carbon one and face the dilemma of to spray them or not.

Any other input would be helpful

If it helps.

Si @ StillStatic quoted me £480 shipped for flachwerks +25mm wings.

Did say they needed prepping to fit and reccomended a proffesional does it.

Also wondering what to do with my arches.

Can get pre painted insurance ones of eBay for £125  a side

I had this issue too, I just had my rusty arches repaired along with being rolled and flared slightly at the same time and painted again.
