Re: FOR SALE: MK3 Front wings primed in black (pair) and a grey leather steering wheel

I've seen plenty on ebay and other places between £130 and £250 each
I've been told older pattern parts are a better fit than new ones (so ive been told anyway)
That being said I'd probably be happy with £200 for both to be honest

I bought them secondhand and was going to fit them to mine but managed to undent my wings whilst they are still on the...

Re: Engine cut out whilst driving...

I tried the old one again and the same happens so it's not an issue with the fusebox itself. And the terminal bridges are the same as the old one, guess il have to give all the wiring the o...

Bit s...
