on the early cars its metal.

on the late cars its GRP.

what year is your car?

[robwsurf]

early 1985 think mines full of filler then on the corner have to get the welder out i guess!

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:




Sorry for hi-jacking post - but I think the information may be of use to us both

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.

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!

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?

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.
