Default Classic Alloy Front Wings

Hi all,
After a pair of front alloy wings to fit my 96STI. Must be in good condition but scratches not a problem as I'm going to respray them so any colour is fine.
Thanks, Richard.

You might wait a while because there is no such thing as alloy front wings

LOL, wondered why I couldn't find any. As mine have started to go a mate suggested I buy some alloy ones from an RA. I'm about to go & kick him in the nuts.
Thanks for saving me from wasting any more time.

Bump for this thread as it's something i've been looking into.

Information is scarce, but unless i'm being misled, aluminium/alloy wings for a classic DO exist, as factory items.

Does anybody know for sure what models etc they were fitted on?

Apparently this is just a Scooby myth. Iv even had a specialist tell me they are all alloy when clearly they aren't.
New ones are cheap anyway & used ones are readily available.

No they're not all alloy, that's just a daft uninformed comment. "Specialist"? In his dreams!

Yep they're readily available and there's nothing wrong with the wings on my car, i'm just in pursuit of as much weight saving as i can. I'm talking to a chap on Ebay now who says he's got a pair. I will insist on a magnet test and report back!!

There is no such thing- they are SO thin and light anyway there would be naff all reason for them to make them out of aluminium.

The plastic cr@p attached to them weigh almost more....

Actually i'm delighted if that's the case as it has saved me a trip to Bournemouth to collect a pair of "alloy" wings

I'll see if the Ebay seller concedes once he's dug out a magnet

Carbon or fibreglass if you're looking at lighter wings.

No wings is the lightest option
