hi, has anyone fitted one of these? or have pictures of anything similar;

Will the a panels have clearance to flip or do you think it would be better to just bolt on/remove completely for big jobs? :)

looks the same as the one i fitted and tbh was a bit of a pain in the ass to get it a nice fit.

the a panels will probably catch the wheels when flipping so probly easieer to bolt on. thats how mine is only takes 5mins to take off.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

yea i noticed you have to trim the edges for a custom fit, do you have any pictures of how you mounted to the door pillars?

i had to trim the edges where the door gap is.
i had to extend the lehgth of the a panels because they didnt meet the sill.
i had to build up the top of the wings so they sat flush with bonnet.
also you may have to shape the wings to fit the scuttle panel.

mounting it was the easy bit tbh its the shaping it to fit thats was a bitch. the one on ebay may be made by somebody else so may be better.

i welded 3 L shaped brackets on the door hinge panel each side. welded nuts on the back and just bolt the front on thro these i also welded brackets on the front subby and bolt thro the front.
also i put a bolt in each side on the top of what is left of the inner wings.


if i go in the garage this week ill try to remeber to take some pics.
