If you fit new wings they will have to be Superform as Vintage wings who made the original 3 piece wings are no longer in business so have a go at repairs of the existing first.


I fitted fibreglass wings a couple of years ago. My steel wings were shot and would have needed many hours of skilled labour to repair. Superform wings are only available for long door cars and would need a lot of work to fit a short-door car, the shape is subtly different.

Steve Barnes estimated something over £5k to make a new set of alloy wings (front and rear).

Sid Watson made me a set of heavy duty fibreglass wings for £1800. The colour match was so good that I left them in the gel coat.

I have no intention of selling the car, it doesn't owe me anything, so I couldn't give two hoots about the value.

Here's the result:
