Re: swab Front wings
New. Buy them from Porsche. Haggle hard for a decent price, pcgb discount plus dealer discount etc. Do not expect a lot of change from £900 per wing
Second hand they come up for sale occasionally. Expect rot in all of the double skinned areas and the indicator boxes.
I went for new from Porsche and did not regret it

Always try Porsche Glasgow (Danny Anderson) - free shipping and willing to discount if possible.

Re: swab Front wings
It depends how accurate you want to be. I am sure the swb wings from Porsche will need modified. There are swb wings and there are swb wings, 67 differ from 68 and the early ones are different again. I am also pretty certain that they might have changed a little through the MY 68 as well depending on when your car was built. It also depends on whether your car is US spec or ROW spec.

Re: swab Front wings
Thanks for the response
It's a 3 dial 66 US spec car As long as they are quality metal and of good fit I will be happy
My current ones are rotten and have had previous poor repairs headlight bowls are suprisingly rock solid tho

Re: swab Front wings
I don't but let's establish how many pairs are required first, looks like 2. Hope that's enough to make it worth while. Anybody else??

Re: swab Front wings

I need them not necessarily now but if there's a good saving I will take a set now to help make it happen

Re: swab Front wings
So that's 4 pairs and a good start. I'll start the ball rolling tomorrow & report on here. I have a two- pronged attack plan.
