Replacement rear wings

Postby rhysmate » Sun, 21 Jul 2013 9:13 +0000

Lads.

Does anyone have any experience with these http://www.carz2.co.uk/mazda-mazda-9098-c-256_257.html

My sills at the corner of the rear arch are rotten. Id rather not reshell as i want to keep my own car and i am aware.of how much work is involved in welding in new sections. Does anyone have exoeriwmce with replacing a rear wing or don this repair. Ill be carrying out the work by myself. Or even if someone has experience with spurious mx5 panels?

Thats a great find! Only trouble is its gone up a bit further than that. The inner sill will really help though so that link is invaluable.

Not sure but I think franksm bought rear wing sections and didn't use them in the end. Might be worth a PM

Sorry, had my panels fitted after the old rust was cut out. Rust started to return a year later, paint bubbling, so I gave up at that point.

If you're doing it yourself, cut the metal well back.
If you're paying someone else to do it, use someone good. As I have learned, "buy cheap, buy twice"
