How much of a job is it to replace both front wings? How much are they?
Better to get a professional to do it, or is it a DIY job?
I've got serious rust issues especially in the sill just behind the right front wheel. It's got a hole about 3.5inches across in it. All the arches could do with some work too. But everything else looks pretty good, considering.
Cheers, Ian

front wings are only about £20 each from ECP and are not difficult to replace,only real cost woulbd be getting them sprayed,but with time taken a good job can be done with spray cans if you have the time and patience.

Wings are a piece of piss to change, just a load of 10mm bolts to hold them on.
Check out the for sale section as there are often panels for sale which are the same colour as your car to save on painting costs.
A new wing is about 30 quid off ebay for a pattern part, painting it is the expensive bit, fitment is easy!
Did i mention i have some Alpine Weiss wings and BMW Schwarx wings for sale

I bought replacement front wings from ECP thinking I could save a few quid. What a load of utter s**t they were. Sharp edges, dings and creases in the metal all over the damn things. I ended up sending them back as they didn't even fit properly.

i got mine from ECP also and they were a perfect fit with no sharp edges or dents that must have been bad luck
