Title: Origin roof wing
Post by: jackaleks on April 14, 2009, 08:13:08 PM
has anybody got one of these? mine turned up in the mail today (only took two weeks to clear through customs...) and it looks like it might need a bit of sanding for clean fitment. has anyone got any pics/tips for fitting?

thanks,

sand it little by little, if you shave too much off, theres no getting it back, so slowly sand it into shape, little by little
 
EDIT* btw, whats it for an FC or an FD? If its for the FD, do you think it could fit an FC?

hmm, probably be best to get the local bodyshop to sort it.
 
FD only i think, i\'m not sure how well it would fit an FC as it\'s molded (kind of...) to the curve on the top of the rear hatch and it\'s pretty rigid, there\'s not really any flex at all in it. maybe the s13 wing? i always though the hatch on an FC and an s13 looked similar...

Hey can you post some pics of it or link where you bought it from please?

I\'ve been considering something like this for a while now but the only one I\'ve seen looked a bit awkward to my eyes.

i\'ve booked into my local body place to get it fitted in a couple of weeks so i\'ll post pics. i think they look great from the side and back, they can look a bit average from the front.
 
i bought mine from Nengun for around £90-100, so with shipping and duty it came to about £150.
