They aren't available to my knowledge. You can buy new front wings for around £60 each from Autodoc. Rear wings will cost significantly more but you can either repair your own panels or buy good secondhand.

@spurs fan in a coupe can help with pre used panels

Many thanks for your reply.

Check with Spurs fan in a coupe. He had some good wings at very reasonable prices last time I was over there.

I have a decent passenger rear wing.

Have you got his contact, I have tried typing his name in but no results found. I have heard of him and know he is a good guy.

I will keep you in mind Andyboy, just checking what Spurs fan in a coupe has. How much do you want for your wing?

Tagged so he should see this.

If no luck, then I have a pair of rust free front wings, but they would need spraying as not topaz blue.

£70 - it’s not perfect but they rarely are. It’s very sound though.

Hello there Mazza how are you? How much are you asking for them?

 

[Rusty]

Once I get my new panels I am going to need a recommendation for someone to fit and a good re-spray. Ideally in the West Sussex area. I love how the members here network and recommend good tradesmen/women.

Hi Rusty,
i will send a PM later today

Hi Rusty,

Hello Mazza
i hope this finds you well. I am hoping to get the front side panels from Spurs in a coupe on Wednesday. He did mention that one of them was difficult to remove which might prove a problem when re-fitting them. As you know I know very little about cars. Are you able to message him to see if it will be a problem that might warrant me getting only one of them and looking for another one. I am very grateful for you saying you would fit them for me along with the ones I am getting from you. You are such a kind person. Thank you, Rusty

I am a bit confused… are you getting the front or rear panels from Andy??

 

[Duncodin]

He may have meant that the screws have been rounded off so had to cut something which might mean fitting needs a bigger washer or a little bracket making up or something out of sight.

I bought some online a few years ago when doing some work on my wife’s then 2.8 , let’s say I preferred the slight bubbling on the originals to the panel fit of the aftermarket parts!

Hello, i am getting the rear panels from Andy and the front ones from you

 

[Rusty]

I am so sorry Mazza for the confusion. My fault for not checking the message before i sent it.
