Thanks joe but thats what I didnt wanna do. Because that wind has a few dents and a bad rust patch down at the sill level I wanted to replace the whole thing.

Yes I have seen the inserts - Awesome do them. And yes I can weld. Arc and Mig.
Just didnt wanna go that route

Yes joe but thats gonna take time I dont really have! But with new problems I'm beginning to be resigned to not finishing the car very soon!

Well I have just received an email that confirms the worst!
The german supplier has discontinued that item!
Blooming Krauts! :angry:

why not make your own its not hard and will save a lot of time and effort?

The whole idea was a replacement wing with the vents in. Minimal work for me and less work for the bodyshop guy who has to take out some dents and deal with a bit of rust.

Yes I have had many suggestions about attacking it with my angle grinder!
I mean if I wanted to I could cut my name into it!
But that would be crass!

Have eventually managed to get a call back from Venom.
Same story, the german suppliers have discontinued them and they have no stock left.

have an option with Hardcor3, which is a possibilty!
