As title listing spotted on E-Bay, I'm fairly sure these are almost like hens teeth to source, so get in quick if you want/need them

Here are the links :- L/H SIDE and R/H SIDE !

Good luck if you get them

and Bad luck if you don't

Remember, 'if you snooze you lose' !

Oooh, thanks for that. LH sill purchased. I don't need RH (at the moment...) so I'll let someone else grab that.

nice... bits keep popping up

what i really could do with for when the weather gets dryer is a pair of rear wings for an estate....

I'd fight you for them...

If estate rear wings ever turn up, there will be WAR!

Indeed, it'll get messy...
I wonder if anyone's ever thought of contacting Heuliez and seeing if they've still got any estate bits lurking in the attic...

Or I wonder if it's worth exploring costs for getting some made up. It looks, at first glance, like a fairly simple panel - this based on absolutely no knowledge of metalwork! I suspect we'd need to get Euro BXers on board to make it a go-er. 2CVGB's just invested £28k on getting Dyane inner rear wings made up, and we can only do that knowing that the European clubs are very interested in buying them.

I cut a left hand one off my scrapper (naturally, it's the right hand one I actually need for both estates...), and it wasn't easy – lots of spot welds and mastic and a bit of a sod to get at generally.

I thought ide just cut a big chunk off the back of the motor initially and than work on the bits i wanted. Wont be a pretty sight initially.

Well done,

(It could be a long time before another 'Hen with teeth' appears)

Another part I've placed into my 'Watch list' on E-BAY , but it's rather vague what is actually being offered, (Mk1/MK2 Saloon or Estate) and which side

Maybe worth someone asking them a question via E-Bay or ring them direct ?

I suspect it only maybe the actual arch piece below the rubber strip (i.e. #13 31 508/9) as shown below :-

I've considered contacting them in the hope they may have a stock of van body panels. Don't fancy my chances much
