emu Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 There seems to be a few differing opinions as to how well fibreglass fits. I havent paid that much attention to any cars fitted with them but have you had a good look? Are you happy that your happy with the fit and finish? (Is that more useful??)
Posse Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Posted November 18, 2006 its being built for the strip baz ben morley and a few others have got fiber glass ones but i was speaking today to one of my mates and some fit nice and some don't

fezza Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 Always nice to have a proper pair of mex wing but if you could do with the cash then sell them mate ,who cares if you got fiberglass wings,i had some on my yelow mk1 and they looked spot on
J_mk1 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 i had some on my yelow mk1 and they looked spot on where did you get yours from????
jayson2.3pinto Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 well you could sell the mexico wings to me or swap for my new firbeglass wings which i bought for my car
fezza Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 i had some on my yelow mk1 and they looked spot on where did you get yours from???? Not sure where they were from as they were on the car when i bought it mate

J_mk1 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 i was just looking on the smith and deakin website, and for the price of one of those wings, you could buy a whole mk1 front end would be hard to fit though, i imagine, but atleast you wouldnt have to worry about gaps!!!
emu Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 its being built for the strip baz ben morley and a few others have got fiber glass ones but i was speaking today to one of my mates and some fit nice and some don't Im sure V6Col has fibreglass wings on the escort hasnt he? I only know that cos I remember it being mentioned ages ago, As for Baz's Escort and Bens Van(?) I didnt. So I guess what im getting at is that if you take the time fitting fibreglass wings then they arnt obvious. If you dont take you time with a steel wing itll look gash. Personally, I dont see that there is any real benefit to keeping the steel wings unless your going for originality (Which im guessing you arnt ). Selling them would cover the price of fibreglass with cash to spare so it seems.
Twinkle Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 have a word with baz m8 the ones he gets were moulded off of his green one
