Title: Non genuine wings
Post by: kirk on 10 June 2012, 14:14

Hi guys im after a non genuine wing to cut up and patch my original wing up, as its just started rusting at the bottom of the arch. Does anyone know of the best quality to get or are they all pretty much the same?

Cheers Steve

Yeah that was the plan but im struggling to find one in my area, id rather not order one of a car been broke without viewing it. Purely because a little rust to someone is sometimes half the wing lol as ive found out on a couple of occasions

Cheers Steve

surely it would be easier to just get a genuine wing? The metel on a pattern wing is like paper, much lighter when you pick them up .
