Aftermarket wings

[Jamese30]

Hi All
I am thinking of replacing my old front wings for some new rust free ones.

Has any one tried any particular makes, and if so what do you recommend.

Thanks

James

By far the best plan is to replace them with genuine second hand ones. In spite of the impression you might get on here, totally rust free ones do exist!

Getting pattern wings to try and fit right is a ball ache and a time consuming job!

Anyone priced wings from Bm?

I'm in 2 minds about repairing mine to be honest but I think replacement ones are required. The only reason I wanted new was to avoid loads of time prepping for paint.


In a dream world I'd like to find a pair of immaculate cirrus blue ones... Please

Unfortunately, these are now of after market quality.

Correct.
It would seem that the latest batch of BMW supplied front wings were pressed on tooling built in 1982....I'm told that it's the 'fit' around the headlight/grille that is the issue,so saving a few quid and still having aftermarket wings fettled by an expert bodyman could be the way to go,if a search for usable s/h wings fails.

I have an after market wing if your interested, think its the drivers side. Would have to double check

i bought mine from here

http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/bmw-e30-wing

was not too bad a fit in all honesty.

I got a brand new wing last September from c3 and I'm pretty sure I paid around £150

[bab-91]

So if the wings from BM are aftermarket quality are the rear quarters of similar quality?

[Jamese30]

Hi gsf, was it the £31 ones you got from eBay?

[gmf_uk]

i paid £45 for the ones i got, they are ok.
