Replacement Wings

[Daniel306 12 1 Cars]

After removing both of my wings iv found that one is a replacement and was never painted on the back, planing to replace both as they have rotted where the bumper bolts to them.

 

Where can i get good replacements? are Ecp wings any good? iv got one of there headlight panels and its ok but not perfect

Just bumping this as i'm in the same boat; looks like the ECP / CP4L ones don't have holes for the arch trim, eg base model, so not sure what the deal is there

 

A lot of the places I tried said the ones they have are the same and not GTi ones

 

Where are people getting them from, and costs?

 

Very reluctant to fit 2nd hand ones considering the shell will be going to a bodyshop anyway for paint

I get mine from a place in Germany through work. We usually order loads of VW parts from the company but they do french stuff too. I think they work out about £40 each. They are insurance approved ones and seem reasonable quality. They are galvanised. They turn up with a few stratches on them as they are all stuck in a container with 100's of others but nothing serious like dents etc. I can get a few in if people want?

I see a dent have you tried to fit any yet Kev?

Cool, will bear in mind.. are the base model wings the same bar the holes for bodykit trim then? I heard the flare was different that's all

 

EDIT> also notice they have no repeater holes, presume it's just a case of putting your own in?

I test fitted them but as I have no doors on the shell I could not see the panel gaps on that edge. Bonnet gap seemed good though. As for that dent...its a trick of the light lol The same company supplies me with very good VW panels so I expect these to be the same.

Base model wings have a wider lip under the arch which has to be cut to fit the trim and does not have the holes for the trim. You could try and get Phase 1 wings which have no repeater hole from peugeot.

I just ordered two from Imperial at a cost of £130 5 minutes ago. Are the ones pictured any better? I could just cancel the order if they are.

I got both my wings and front panel from ecp and got them all fitted last weekend and they fitted the car with no modification

The wings have the holes for the trims but no repeater holes cost under £100 for the lot

What was your ECP part number(s)? I wonder if the CP4L ones are exactly the same?

I checked with ECP in Glasgow and they told me they do not supply GTI wings anymore hence why I ended up dealing with Imperial. Also the price on their system for the GTI wings (without indicator holes) was £62 each but this was including VAT?

 

ECP did supply me with the front panel though for £67.

CP4L & ECP are the same company, identical parts, have been told that from the chap on the ECP phone line trying to order stuff. only negative is its a ball ache returning anything online, ECP you just drop it into you're local branch.

I know. It's just that the CP4L wings listed on their site have no GTi bodykit holes. Well - two have photos and two don't, so hopefully the two without photos are infact the GTi ones.

them wings are £31.20 each on CarParts4Less and you can basically get further discount anyway, usually another 10% on anything at checkout!

 

So looks like that's the answer - input both them part numbers on CarParts4Less - 802735291 (left wing) and 802735281 (right wing), they've got the holes for bodykit but no indicator holes. But easy enough to make. And they're in stock so you'll get them next day usually!

How do you get the 10% off mate?

[mrfirepro 127 1 Cars]

I need two as well, are the CP4L any good??

 

How about a group buy, if we all get together we may be able to squeeze a little more discount...

 

Kev, As yours are galvanised may be better, is £40 all in, I'm near you regularly so can pick up

As per this, I've now got these 2 wings here and the prices were as above, and you can get a further 7.5% off by using "SAVEME75" as a voucher code. They're italian made by RHIBO and look decent. They have the trim holes for the GTI but the side repeater hole needs making

[mowflow 67]

Got myself a passenger side one from cp4l using the part number here. Took almost 2 weeks to come despite saying it was in stock and would be 4 days at most. After a week I emailed customer services but got no reply. Gave them a call and was told the body panels come from eurocarparts so they would chase them and call back. No call back but the wing turned up 2 days later.

 

Cut the repeater hole which was a pain in the baws. Coated the back in epoxy mastic and have just bolted it on. Lines up reasonably well so far (need to fit the bonnet to check properly. It's a little tucked in at the door edge.

Hi have been reading this and have put the code`s 802735291 & 802735281 in at ecp and they have come up as in stock and with a picture showing the gti molding holes so i have placed an order, i have since looked at my account and is say query so i am not sure if these are the right codes or not. Or does anybody know where i can get some from. Thanks for any advice kev.

 

 

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

I bought a pair and the codes worked fine.

[kevinvg 3 2 Cars]

Thanks dave i will have to see if they send them. Hope they do at that price lol.

[kevinvg 3 2 Cars]

Dave a quick question how long ago did you by them cus i don`t know what ecp are mucking about at.

 

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

About 3 months ago.

[rikky 37]

Why don't you buy from CP4L with the discount code? Cheaper and no extra work, or last time I checked anyway - which is why I got mine through there. Same people...
