Need a new wing

owas · Oct 5, 2017

I had a little bump with a juke today (most likely a write off),
And need to buy a new wing,
Dont really want a used one, they all seem to be crap and rotten.

The inner arch mud gaurd thing on mine is still good, so i can reuse that.

Can you buy a new pre assembeld full wing? Top, headlight panel and outer skin ect or can you only buy the parts seperatly?

Got any pictures of the juke? Cant imagine it's too pretty seeing the state of your bumper?

No pictures on this phone, its a mess

Noone was hurt though

One thing i dont understand is, why my inner wing to outer wing is bolt and nut rather than the captive nuts?
You can only just fit a spanner in the gap so doing it in situ is impossible

As far as I remember the panels come separately and it will not be cheap to buy all the panels you need. Not all second hand wing assemblies will be rotten. No doubt they'll have some corrosion, but yours looks like it's got a fair bit of filler on it anyway. You could always ask on LZ if anyone has one to sell.
No, I was wrong. Had a quick squint on ebay and here's one. LINKY

Plently of filler where i presume its taken a hit in the army but doesnt have any corrosion.
Then one youve linked to, does that include the side skin too?, i cant tell

Leave it like that, it gives it character and acts as a warning to others to keep out of your way.

Yes, I noticed that but a pry bar should rectify it.

It’s the mod lights that you may find harder to replace. You should start looking now.

Is there supposed to be captive nuts to bolt the side skin to the rest of the wing or is it nut and bolt?
Getting all the bits together to get it all done next weekend and im not too sure on this.

No idea, mate. I just put the link in so you could see what sort of prices they were going for.

MOD lights are easily come by , brand new around 25 quid per unit. The inner and outer wings bolt together, its a faff but you can do it.

It says Top , Front and Inner, so at a guess I would say no, and at that price I would go direct to Land Rover and price it up, 600 quid for a britpart wing with the outer skin missing? They are having a laugh!

Genuine part , around the same price.

The part in the link is genuine,
I bought mine through my local dealer abit cheaper but i might have messed up a little here, the headlight panel on this doesnt actually fit the military lights, its too large and the one i have has a large square hole under the sidelight hole.

Im considering just throwing civilian lights on this with the finisher, originality went out the window when i put a 300tdi in anyway
