I've got one to do as well but putting it off till I get these axles sorted out, two rears to do, one front almost finished.

It'll be reet:D
 
I got one of those for my 300tdi, not bad to be honest.
the bolts seem ok, but whatever you do, get some stainless self tappers for the plate that mounts to the wing, the supplied black ones are allen for a start, and start to rust within 2 weeks.
also, pay no attention to the measurements for drilling the frame, if you do you WILL hit one of the strengthening bits on the inside of the frame, I also used a smaller drill than suggested, the one in the instructions just seemed too large.

the fixing bolts dont seem to be stainless, but that havn't rusted yet either, the hose clips are stainless.

I've got small stainless bolts so I'll use those then:)

Not bad for the price I thought, sold some bits so got enough to buy it, it'll look better than the home made one on the Desert Rat (yellow one below)

Need a 200 tdi for the Black Duck she's a bit too slow without a turbo but she gets there. Going Llandudno on Sunday so give her a run:)
 
I would think twice. I put one the same on mine (near side wing, 200tdi) end of last year, and the mushroom is rusted to buggery already. Thinking of all plastic next time.
 
It will fit where ever you are willing to cut a hole,

Ps Tim drop my socket off lol need to nip the caliper bolts up

I'll paint it then to preserve and make it look nice:)
 
they will with a bit of fudgery, the 300tdi the air inlet is drivers side, the 200, passenger side, so the wing plate is the wrong way round.
for the price you could cut it off and reverse it.

No problem, my wings do not have any vent holes in them as they are the early type, so I will be one to fit.:)
