Dave, I think I recall Ian saying his wings were rolled out propperly (rather than new wings) by Boreham.

He *may* see this, ill text him and point him in this direction

IIRC Ians bodykit was done by the same bodyshop that Boreham used (the one johncossie mentioned id guess) as the genuine kit is absolutley shockingly bad fit and needs a lot of work to get to fit well.

I think the wings ARE proper new wings rather than adapted std ones, cant honestly see how std ones can be "rolled" to turn em into WRC ones, they metal not playdough

they are new wings IIRC, as itsmeagain says, the arch is completley different, the arch follows the whole radius of the wheel, and dosn't stop at the coachline like the normal wings do

The norway one is wider, so its steve scott's

Ring him up and ask him.

The are cut pushed and welded, next to each other the wrc and standard there is a big difference in how they look from the back.
