MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Front wings, early grp

Hi

Any thoughts on availability and quality of grp front wings please? For an early car with the front sidelight/indicator close to the headlight.

Also what year did the front sidelight/indicator move further down?

Any metal repair panels available for front wings (the lower section at the front- the wing section of the front valence)?

Head under the car today and found a crusty section of the front wing.

Cheers

I've got some Honeybourne Mouldings ones on my Sprite and they aren't bad. One of them is a little out at the bonnet gap but apart from that you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference - with the bonnet closed anyway - the inner edges are different to standard. Mine are early car type. They changed on Leylandisation and the small bumpers in 69/70.

The wings changed in ‘68 I believe, prior to the slim bumpers.

My Honeybourne ones are good too

And in the years since I rebuilt the car they have had lots of abuse to deal with

I flat-sanded the panels to remove ripples before I painted them but there wasnt much distortion anyway
