Mo Murphy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 New wing skin needed It can be repaired but it would be a lot of work and it'll be cheaper to get a new skin. However if you replace it, it won't match the rest of your Land Rover Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrfarmer Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 my one was alot worse than that. light tuching wheel. if that was my 90 i would just push it in so it isn't sticking out and leave it i didn't think it's that bad but you may want to keep your truck in better nick than i do mine.

Tris Cocks Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 If i were you i would just leave it as it adds character. failing that i would get a stick on transfer saying 'Ouch' or a couple of big plasters to stick over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 To be honest, unless you want to run a really tidy vehicle it would probably be just as easy to leave it and just make sure the lights are ok and nothing sticks out that would fall foul of the law. It can then absorb any other damage in the meantime and perhaps only change the wings when you are ready to sell and if it would improve the price.

Eightpot Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 You need to take the wing off then, and put a new side panel on - http://www.mm-4x4.com/defender-90110-outer...rside-555-p.asp (these guys will deliver it to you if you don't have anywhere local to source a panel from) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eightpot Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I believe mm4x4 will deliver to Moldova, panel cost is about 65 euros plus postage. (thier web server is down at the moment, so try again tomorrow) A few of the UK parts firms will deliver worldwide - paddocks (send email to sales@paddockspares.com to confirm if they can deliver) and John Cradock http://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
