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

Hi sorry to hijack
Which dealer did you go to Sean ?
I've been quoted 940 plus Vat per side

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

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.

Mike

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

I would certainly be interested in any group deals if anyone has a contact

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??

I could make a call to them if you are all sure you want them and get a deal price

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

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.
