If memory serves me correctly it was less than 50 - made me laugh out loud watching that, was he working the scrap guy with strings or something?

I fitted a Toyota steel one last summer to the driver's side. The wings must come in at least 2 patterns because there was one bolt with no hole, but I just ignored that one. One thing it won't be doing any time soon is rusting due to a thorough rub down and 2 coats of Hammerite on the rear side, followed by a liberal spray of Waxoyl once it was fitted.

Honeybourne all the way...


£105+Vat for toyota ones now (gone up I think)

Some on the MK1 club genuinely offered me a second hand one for £110 delivered ](*,)

You could try TCB parts. They may be able to get new ones cheaper than direct from Toyota.

no bolt hole = mk1a
bolt hole = mk1b

hole is for the lower front spoiler, i.e. not fitted to the earliest 1a cars, but found on later 1a's and all 1b's

Spoiler

My car has the lower spoiler, so I need to bore a hole.

In my defence, I was in a hurry when I fitted the wing last summer, more time now to sort it out.
