Front Wing Dent

[stevowaring]

Hi,

 

My neighbour liked my car so much, he decided to drive his car right into it and has dented the bodywork around the wheel arch. Right where the wheel arch meets the front bumper. I can't see how a body shop will get this back to standard look, so it will probably be a new wing. So:

 

1) Where's the best place to get a new wing from?

2) How much should I pay for a front wing (2003 coupe)?

3) Should I consider carbon fibre items? How much are they?

4) Are the front wings removable by hand i.e no welding?

5) Anyone know of any second hand blade silver front drivers side wings for sale?

 

Cheers,

Steve

1) Where's the best place to get a new wing from? 2nd hand speak to r35lee

2) How much should I pay for a front wing (2003 coupe)? don't know

3) Should I consider carbon fibre items? How much are they? you can, i think EP Racing sell them

4) Are the front wings removable by hand i.e no welding? Only the rear arches are welded on, fronts can be un bolted

5) Anyone know of any second hand blade silver front drivers side wings for sale? no but r35lee might have one

 

 

 

 

if your neighbour drove into to you, why are you paying?

[stevowaring]

Oh I'm not paying, I'm letting him know how much he needs to give me to sort it out!

 

Thanks for the advice, I'll try r35lee.

 

Cheers,

Steve

Right, looks like I am going to have to find a new wing and get it sprayed and fitted.

 

I've had a quote for the wing £210 + VAT (official Nissan wing) and to spray and fit £365 (which seems expensive). So two questions:

 

1) Anyone got any blade silver driver side wings for sale R35LEE and ZMANALEX don't seem to have any.

2) How much should it cost to get a wing sprayed and fitted? I don't want to get ripped off!

 

Cheers,

Steve

[ZMANALEX]

I have a preowned one in Azure

 

Fitting should be around £50.00.

 

Painting including material around £200.00.

 

Labour charges will depend on location, but the above is based on £50.00 per hour.
