Use a nibbler or drill a hole and use a jigsaw. Then file it really neat.

Fibreglass is the way forward on the mesh aswell!

Would that cause any rusting or would a bit of grease be enough?

dont use a jigsaw you will make a mess of it cutting something that small, jigsaws vibrate and dent the panel.

use something like a cutter grinder that dont vibrate

Wings should cost about £25

Am I right?

www.tuning.co.uk sell body repair standard wings (not genuine vaux but used for accident repair apparently.

best bet's a scrappy - must be loads in there.

I got that price from merc itself, explains why its so expensive. All i need is one that is damaged, preferably not near the vent, then just cut it out n weld it in and then fill. Just need to find one now
