This isnt really technical but it is your opinion.
Where if anywhere would you trust for a set of front wings? Or would you only trust a dealer, both my gront wings have "gone" at the bottom. Any personal experience preffered.
Regards Mark.

GSF pattern ones are ok, about Ԛ£16 a wing, just make sure you paint them well.

Thanks Boys, thats the second time I have heard GSF, so I think I will go with them, cheers. Only reason I ask is my local motor factors are a real crap fit! But I used to deal GSF when I worked for VW / Audi, so looks like they get my hard earned!

If you go for GSF wings check fitment at the a-post, I bought a n'side wing recently from GSF and had to modify the inner of the wing to fit, also it is advisable to fit up the wings before painting as some of the edges & bolt holes are not quite perfect!!

Good OE panels from the breakers in the correct colour is the best route.

I have stripped two cars and all six wings that I have come accross, including my own aint worth it, trying to find a malacite green car was hard enough, trying in a breakers? Cheers anyway, I WILL have a look into that area and see what local scrapper dig up.
Cheers Mark.

if your buyung pattern wings anyway they will need to be blown in? why not just get clean OE wings from a breakers and respary them? I've had a pattern wing on my old 318i and the fit was sh!te compared to the OE. Shut lines were all over the place
