front wings and arches help

Post by jutwit » Tue Mar 10, 2009 7:46 pm

my front arches are beyond repair due to rot :cry: the front part of the wings arent to clever either, should i just get new wings or patch them up? but new arches are a must. ive been told the wings are bolt on, and easy to do, is this true? any help or ideas are very welcome.

thanks

I think the wings are mostly bolt on with a couple of spot welds that probably don't need spot welding bak into place after in the engine bay. Grind those off and unbolt and replace with goood 2nd hand wings from the likes of Neil at Rhinoforce.

i phoned rhino force today and they are not trading in suzuki parts any more :cry: looks like there will be some patching up going on. done some phoning about and i can get some brand new wings for £105 each :x which is a bit much for me at the moment, so if anyone has any hanging about and want to sell them please let me know.
