No worries Guy, I think I'll  be cutting those little bits out anyway to get behind them

Some big bits missing there Carl. Are you replacing the vertical part of the inner wing? Or fabricating it?

Apologies, still got a bad back so I haven't had a chance to photograph the underside of my car for comparison!

How similar is the Spyder front end as Mine is on its side and easy to photo. I will in time be cutting the front end off to sell when/if some needs bits. Ive just got to work out where I either unstitching or cutting it. Reminds me best invest in some new spot weld drill bits mine are years old and probably blunt

Hi

The Spider front end is the same as the Coupe,, though Carl's is a pre facelift, so maybe the odd small difference.

I noticed that this area on Guys car is different to mine. It may have been changed at the factory as on mine there's an area that cant be treated and would get dirt build up behind it. I'll be cutting it off to clean it all up and treat.

Hi Carl

Also Guy's car will have plastic wing liners, yours originally did not, though it may be possible to retrofit them.

I have a spare set if you want to give it a go.
