Fit is fine IMO.


Oh I miss my Ol' Tantrum :cry:

I fitted that wing, IMO (as an Crash repair tech) the wing was fine to work with. Very strong, the holes are marked out on the back and as with the originals - some are oval so you can adjust it. Only thing it needed was a bit of prep before paint. :thumleft:

The Honeybourne ones are good, my guy had no problem fitting it.
To be honest, anyone who has seen my car in the last four years or so, I challenge you to say which is fibreglass and which is metal on the front wings.

Its the best solution to avoid rust, even if it takes a bit of work to get it fitted, its still going to be cheaper long term than going back to the metal and watching the rust spread through the wing again.
I am going to live forever, or die trying!

Honeybourne Mouldings have been around a long time & have always had a good name :thumleft:

My front wings need only a very small repair at bottom rear of each

They look really good apart from that

No need for replacment wings at the mo
