Hi all, im in need of some new front wings for my E30 and was considering buying brand new wings from GSF as there only Ԛ£25 each + vat. Has anyone used these before, are they a good fit or does any one have some rust and dent free briliant red front wings.

I've used GSF wings on my veedub in the past. Needed some serious prep-work to make sure they didn't rust, otherwise the fit was ok, good enough that with a bit of tinkering they could be lined up pretty well. if you can find some mint genuine second hand ones, i'd go for them over new gsf ones, or make sure you prep the gsf ones v thoroughly - i.e. strip them back to bare metal and heavily zinc primer them etc, paint and underseal the insides of them else they will rust.

GSF wings for E30's are a Totally CR*P fit!! :clin:

Are your wings are only rotten at the lower mudflap area??
If so i have replaced this section by cutting behind the moulding & welding in the lower section of a GSF wing.. :thumb:

they are a bit naff tbh, i've fitted one to my old 318 after i humped it into a tree. Never looked right but i couldn't afford a genuine one

the car was jigged anyway so i expect it would of never fitted right.

They are not as well mate and will need loads of rust protection
