This is the best way to go .Thats if the wings are in good supply .
Its what i did for the passengers side last year .
The whole car was on ebay selling as one item .After he was hit by a lorry on the drivers side .Thats how i ended up with my passengers side wing .Seller sold off parts in the end after a no sale. Picture 1 is the car i had the wing off .Picture 2 his passengers wing now fitted on to my car .It was like having the pools come up . View attachment 41442 View attachment 41443
Result! Looks good. I'm sure there are good condition used parts are out there it depends how quickly you need them. Many an hour can be spent looking on line for used parts, and many a mile travelled to go and pick them up. Having said that most breakers offer delivery via courier but I prefer to have a look in person at what I'm buying.

Yep. Need to fill in where the indicator goes before spraying them.
The wheels maybe for sale at Dronsfields if you were interested in them. Thanks

Easy to fill the holes. Thought you had changed the horrible Fox wheels for AMG for a min, I just like that wheel on those cars
