Looking good Daisy, it's scary to think how quickly your old one deteriorated.

yeah, but I always knew it was a crap job, it wasnt an origonal wing, had been fitted frickin terribley, and not sealed, wax oiled, nothing... this is such a good job, it fits like a glove, and the paint match is excellent. and they polished the car too 8-)

happy girl :)

Hi Daisy,

Good to see, that you got the wing sorted ok. I hope there was no unexpected rot under it, as it looked pretty sound in the problem areas when I checked it out in July.

Looks good now though.

Hi Matty, nope, you were right, it was super tidy when they took it off, they were really impressed and had no rust trouble, was such good news!

Realy Good News there Daisy.

It's not often you can change one of the wings without other hidden problems.

Look after it.
