A saloon wing can be adapted to fit a cabbie,but it is a job for a skilled bodyman.
The cill trim fitted to cabbie's hides the spotwelded join the factory used....so you need to get this lower section folded up.
It only bends in one direction,so is a task that my bodyman passed on to his apprentice;
