Re: mk1 front spoiler
Are the whole things available
(as a panel)? I will be needing to replace mine some time in the not so distant future
(as well as the front wings).
.
.
Is there a source for replacement panel and wings?

Bits I will need to replace:

Re: mk1 front spoiler
Cheers, Rob.
I tell you my car wasn't that pretty in places when i got it.


The lip spoiler simply screws to the front valence.


I'm not sure on availibility of the spoiler and front valence, i guess all you can do is check with MrT.
I'll bet its expensive though!

I don't know of anyone else that makes these repair panels.

I'm sure Paul would know.

Re: mk1 front spoiler
i havent found any suppliers yet,
but i'm doing a full time classic car restoration course at the mo so when i get time i make my own.

for wings i d look for someone breaking rather than new panels too expensive!

Re: mk1 front spoiler
When I was restoring my Corolla GTi, I found a place that made entire wings.
I have lost his details and am also not sure if they would do wings for a MKI anymore.
IIRC, the wings for the Corolla cost in the region of
£45 each
- so quite realistic.

Will need to boot up and traul through my old PC.
.
.

Just out of interest would anyone know if the panels would be the same size/fitment etc.
.
.
on later spec MKI's to the earlier spec?

Re: mk1 front spoiler
the front valance is surprisingly not that expensive from mrT.
cant quite remember but i think its about
£45 each side.the one that fits over the other in the middle is about
£3 more expensive?? i would keep my eye on ebay these do come up every now and then along with wings.
yours is a bit of a mess but its an easy repair if you are any good with paint.

The wings are the same and i think the front valence is the same, but obviously the lip spoiler is different.
