More seriously, how difficult is to to replace a wing? The rest of the car is nowhere near that bad, and I'm wondering whether the car would sell as a project or whether it's just for scrap or parts. ----------

The wing skins are available from PowerfulUk but these are only the exterior skins. It all depends on the state of the internal structures.

I recently removed my rear wheel arch liners - turns out they are mud traps - and no way to get it out without removing the liners.



I was surprised at the amount of dried mud lying on top of the liner itself - and thats with regular washing with an angled jet spray to clear out the arches. So that damp mud would have been lying against the arch side. Jules

Just as a quick update I sold the car as a project. I dont know what new new owner's done but he collected it one evening, then put it through MOT the very next day. No mention of the wing at all. Could he really have fixed it that quickly? Or some sort of lash up just for the test, prior to fixing properly. ----------

Don't know. It was a fail, on unrelated items, which might argue against a dodgy tester. Since he's a car project guy, maybe he knows a tame MOT tester and agreed some lash up on the wing, doing the test to see what else was lurking under there. How long would it take to change the wing, assuming he already had the part? I guess MOT wouldnt care if the wing was just primed or the wrong colour. ----------
