    Coupe wings ??

    Hi All, are all coupe wings the same? I've read conflicting info, I'm looking for a pair for my 3b in panther black must be very good condition and at a reasonable price too (not pattern parts), I'm in no rush.
    Thanks in advance Condor...

    All B3/4 Coupes use the same front wings.

    Avant's/B4 Saloons share the same wings but these won't fit Coupes, there are a few differences in the body lines.

    B3 Saloons have different wings again, these will only fit B3 Saloons.

    Hope that clears up any confusion for you.

    If you end up buying new genuine wings, which maybe your only option as rot free ones are getting thin on the ground. Remember to cut the holes for the side repeaters before getting them painted. I know a couple of folks who have been caught out by this one. Most EU country's didn't/don't require side rep's in the wings so there is no provision for fitting them.

    If you look at my Corrado in this thread you'll notice their absent and it's a 1990 car.



    In the UK they are required on all car registered after 1984/5.

      Thanks for all the info, most appreciated, I was hoping to find a good pair of wings in Panther black if possible, but I will see what comes along, (may be on here), I'm in no hurry as I have a few more urgent things which need attention ie heater matrix. Moneys a bit tight at the moment as I'm trying to get the car MOT'D have just had to shell out for 4 new tyres etc etc you know how it is with cars....thanks again.Condor
