Depends on whether you are bothered about original or not ?
I used pattern ones from Hadrian, www.carpanels.com
These were about Ł30 each, but can't tell once fitted and painted, perfect fit.

For which car?

the last time i got 1 from ford for my sapph 3 or 4 years ago they were Ł65,i know the guy who painted my car got 1 from ford last year no bother,i know i got a set of mk4 escort wings last year also,i think they would still be available.

 

Just bought two saph wings very recently from Ford imo I would always prefer genuine body panels over pattern ones


Luciano

 

Hmmm, lets see how many pattern makers would pay Ł100,000 + for a die to make wings for a 20 year old car ?, exactly they don't they buy old dies off of the same people who make them for ford, otherwise they would never sell enough to recoup the cost of the die alone, true the dies are a bit worn by this time, but still perfectly good.
I don't go in for all this genuine stuff, as I can't think of a single maker who makes his own parts, but your money your choice.

Fair point my friend but down to experience years ago, I bought pattern wings for my mk4 cortina and they were total pish, once fitted there were huge gaps where the wings married up or should have married up to the body of the vehicle and I couldn't have possibly used anymore dum dum than I already had done, that's why I say if originals are still there its worth the few extra pence to aqquire them

you probably save the extra effort of getting hte pattern ones to fit buy buying the proper ones in the first palce

don't know how it is over there, but here in the US the after market body parts have to be different from oem by law. so that means holes are in the wrong spots, body lines aren't right. etc.

 

Is it a mk1 or mk2 your after as theirs a guy selling a pair of gen mk1 front wings for Ł250 the pair.

 

That is total pants

That's a fair wack for two wings I posted a link to a single 3 dr wing on here the other day and a member bagged it for Ł25 original part too

sorry forgot to say its a sapphire

 

Fords it is then
