Toyota do brand new wings but they're not cheap. :(

You can keep an eye out in the for sale section and on eBay for some decent second hand jobbies :thumleft:

A company called Honeybourne mouldings make fiberglass versions for £59 a side, I went with these just because they wont rust :lol:


Oh and welcome, I was in the satin black mk1 behind you. :salut:

Front wings are available from your nearest Toyota Dealership priced around £110 + Vat depending on where you go.

Honeybourne Wings do a fibreglass alternateive which cost £59.00 + postage if you want a cheap alternative. IMO These are xxxx as they are made incorrectly and do not fit as good as the steel ones. If you are restoring it to its original beauty buy steel wings as you will be disappointed with the fibre glass fitment.

Lol Mine were fine, fits great and you can't tell the difference between the metal one and the FG one IMO. 8-[

I'll be selling my mk1 soon. I bought some brand new Toyota front wings (and front corner valance pieces) for it that I never got round to fitting. I'd rather sell them with the car for someone to fix up, but if I don't I'll post back in here to see if you got sorted or not.
