Front Wings, Where From

[BusEngineer 7]

Well i had a rather bad day on thursday, we had a tiny bit of snow around these parts in the early hours but combined with a temp drop after it was lethal. My drive is quite steep and id parked diagonally on it in front of the window

Anyway after skating up and down the drive to deice my car i attempted to very carefully get off the drive . . . . No luck, about halfway down whilst very carefully braking it went, and slid sideways into my gate and wall, very nearly demolishing it in the process, after 10 minutes of extremely careful movements i got it out of the drive!

 

But i know have a dented and scrapped drivers wing!! I hate winter!!

 

I ideally want a pair of front wings and after looking on servicebox, as much as id love too, i wont be paying Peugeot prices (£100+ a side)

 

So i need to know where i can get decent quality wings from?? Any ideas and idea of price would be great

 

Cheers

Yeh i got a quote of £150 a wing per side un-painted, very pricey

You will probly get some offer's on here, if u dont find any try escortbuffy from e-bay, he

has approx over 20, 205 gtis he's breaking. He mite live too far away though ?

 

Good luck in finding some decent one's...

i got some pattern ones on mine which Paintguy had to "adjust" slightly but all in all they weren't a bad fit at all, but some can be utter s*ite. The pattern ones were stone chipped protected on the insides and properly prepared before paiiting and have been fine for the 3 years or so that they've been on.

£18 a side iirc!!

I used Hadrian ones when I replaced mine over the summer. Like M@tt's the fit wasn't perfect immediately, the bottom edge needed twisting out slightly to line up with the door properly and the top corner didn't quite line up with the windscreen A pillar but that was solved with a quick wallop with a hammer

 

It wasn't a huge amount of work to get them lined up and I think you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference now they're fitted, even the holes for the black trim lined up as they should, I could probably get some pics tomorrow if that would be any help. I think they were just under £25 a side when I bought them.

seen him on ebay, trying to single handidly wipe out the 205 by the looks of it......

 

 

and no, dont bother with second hand, there an a bitch to remove.

I had to put a new wing on one of my old 205's and i got it from GSF and it fitted really well for a mickey mouse wing.

 

When you take the old one off it will help to use a hot air gun to soften the sealer that holds it on, and when the new one is fittted use plenty of wax oil on it to help prevent it from rusting.

hi there, i have two brand new wings unpainted sitting in my garage, they have a bit of surface rust on them from scratches but can easily be sanded off.

They are not OE though but you can have them for £25

What the hell. Tell him straight, unless he is willing to pay the difference he will use what he is given and like it. .

I think hes getting at the poor fit. He hasnt refused to fit non gen, but said dont bother with them.

 

At the price im paying, a gen wing is the least of my worries
