    New Wing

    When replacing a new wing with a genuine Audi part is it necessary to coat the inside of the wing with any sort of protection?? If so, any particular product that stands above others??

    TIA

    I always stone-chip and paint the inside and anywhere else that ain't visible, I'm an amateur though. The more professional body-workers on hear may have different ideas.

      The new wing probably wont have a hole in it for the side repeater so you'll need to drill it before you paint it

        would it be a good idea to use some sort of wax coating too?

            Ask gt500 on here regarding proofing, I had a pair of new wings fitted to one of my ur's last year and they seriously went to town proofing them with a factory spech product then painted the wings off the car, but they were £1300 just fir the wings so I deffo wanted them proofing!

                Dal make 100% sure when you order that they order RS2 rhd wings... S2/80 avant wings have an oval Audi badge hole low down and lhd will not have the indicator holes. Pm Rob GT500 he will be able to advise

                  Audi RHD wings will have no indicator holes also, you have to cut them in.

                    the holes for the trim should be drilled, mine were. You will need the captive nuts that go on the lower, front of the wing.

                        thanks Al, made sure they were RS2 as i was looking at the Etka screen as he was sourcing the part numbers.

                              Of that I do not know unfortunately, I'd ask GT500 and S2avant as I'm sure they would know
