Hi I have a 2.0 zetec black top if interested. Only done 72K and runs very well. I will also have a 5 speed type 9 box for sale soon. Drop me a PM if interested.

I'd be up for a meet..Let me know where and when...

Saw this running at the pod have to say VERY impressed...

YEP Wanting to go to this for the first time.... Where is it ???? and have you a post code ????

His prices are reasonable also looking at an Atlas with Tran-x LSD.. and some other bits.. What are tran-x like ?????

Thanks..Yep that the man

Yep done that but nothing came back ......

Has anybody used them or know anything about them ??? I have seen they sell atlas diffs with tran-x LSD's.... Any info on them would be greatful good or bad

HERE, HERE, well said and could'nt agree more...

LOL...Hope not should be with currier by now

The thing is genuine panels you just can't get, and Ford's spares were not made by Ford anyhow they were shipped in. Heard same stories about fitment with gen Ford items also.. I know they are not going to be simply place on and weld, i am sure i will need to do alot of tweeking, but this is going to be a project come end of summer with no rush so i will have time to fit them right. i think even removing the front panel would be good also so as to get a better fit round the front. Cleveland said they have sold these panels for 2 years with no complaints and i'm suprised as quite a few people don't like them, they also said that each batch is tweeked, this i am unsure about as i worked in press shop a car manufacturing plant,and any kind of tooling alterations were a massive job to do.

Hi...So you think the second batch had these issues ironed out. Can you see any difference between the two wings Cheers Tim

How long ago did you get yours from Rally design. I take it thay have only done 2 batches. What problems did you have fitting yours BTW ???

Yes i think it's down to the car alot of the time. Cleveland said they sell quite alot of these wings,(with no bad reports) and for the forseable future that's it... This might of been sales patter, but though best to get some sooner rather than later when they could be all gone. i do hope fitting is fairly easy, i am sure they will need some adjustment. There is alot of mixed feeling on fitting out there, think in time i will be adding my own opinions..

Bit the bullet and bought some from Cleveland panels, as i think shortly they will be very hard to purchase.... thanks for all the info...When fitting the wings at what areas would you weld the to the body, Where are they welded from the factory. Are they spot welded along the rain gutters at the top ???

Thanks for all the comments, my fibreglass ones are a pretty good fit, and now worried about spending over £500 and make it look worse. I do like the idea of the steels and dont mind fettling them to get a good fit... But if a good fit is impossible my cash would be best spent elsewhere.

I am looking at getting some steel mex front wings to rid of the fibreglass ones fitted at the moment. I have seen some pattern part ones which i think were made in china. £230 + VAT Has anyone had them or fitted them, if so what were they like, are they a good buy or not. Is the metal thin so welding is made difficult. Any information on them would be helpfull before i buy. Many thanks Tim

Thanks Just what i was after... My car is Ermine at the moment, but wanting to change colour. The Blue sounds interesting and not heard of could be different. Any pictures Thanks

Thanks for that..... What other colour did a 1971 mex come in with decal colour ??? Cheers

Hi I am looking at painting my car in a mexico colour with decals, and the colour i am quite keen on is the red. My car is a 1971 so would like to know the colours of mexico cars at that age along with decals.... Also the correct name for the colour also PICS would be good also. Thanks
