The same place as unicorns buy their horns i think! :shock:

These days they are NLA new (No Longer Available) so your best bet is ebay really.

What's actually wrong with your existing wings and what colour are they? :wink: :D

Midnight Blue or Oxford Blue? Two very similar colours but one is solid, the other is pearlescent.

Depending whether you can cover up the corrosion on the wing with some duct tape so there are no sharp edges, the wing shouldn't fail the MoT unless it's literally flapping in the wind.

I take it you're looking to get it MoT'd sooner rather than later?

***EDIT*** You could try Britpart.de - http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=660931&SPRACHE=EN

yep and definately midnight blue i checked the paint code. the corrosion is at the bottom of the wing where the 2 bolts are that's why i'm thinking cut out and weld a piece from the door so it still has the same shape for the bottom trim

Not sure cutting lumps out of Coupé doors is the best idea to be honest. You'll either ruin an otherwise good door or if it's already rotten, weld rotten metal into rotten metal.

Also i think there's something subtle in the profiles that makes them different, the cladding bit is fine but the fixings etc for the wing make it different.

Keep your eye on ebay, one may come along. I've got a pair to go on my Coupé but won't be doing that until next year and they need some minor repairs first as well but they're better than what's on there.
Cheers,
Dave
