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

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....?

I'd be up for this i think as I like saveing weight where possible! No idea what condition my wings are in tho

What's the difference between MKI and MKII's?

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

yeah but it will stop them from rusting

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