Replacement rear wings
by richardd1652 » Wed Jul 28, 2010 11:44 pm
First post
Are the rear wings the same on Mk1 to Mk2 as the ones ive seen listed are for later cars? They look the same to me?
Last post
I understand that the rear wings on Mk1 ones are different to Mk2 as they are more flared out on the later cars to accept wider wheels etc.
