cant find wings unless you get the flared version from the corsa maxi kit

i have bonnet
Boot on order
Doors when i get a cage

thats about it really

allthough i do have a plan, that involves a man who can make carbon fibre bits, and my front wings

they are between 110 and 150 depending where from

strength doesnt really matter to me anyway mike, but if i had rear seats etc, i dont think id even consider it

the only problem with them is they flex more than metal, but a few panel pins should sort that nicely
