No longer available from Nissan. Its got something to do with Renault now owning around 30% and they have since been making subtle chances

Default Wing manufacture

Hi Guys,

I might be on to something with the wing thing...I bought a pair of MK3 escort wings and cut the arch off - If fits almost exactly in place of the S12 arch and is being welded up at present. I have taken some pics and will post them shortly. The good thing about this is that it gives a slightly wider front arch.

I am still looking for a car with a similar arch profile for the rear...any ideas?

As for Smith and Deacon avoid them as I bought fibreglass arches a couple of years ago for a MK1 RS2000 and the were nothing like the originals and didnt fit....?

The weight of the wings is very light anyway. You'd be lucky to shave off more than a kilo.

They rust because their so thin in the first place. I doubt they could get any thinner.
