Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi All,

Another MOT successfully passed yesterday and I'm ashamed to say the first run out since.......ermmmm......september

Anyhow, I've started having tyre to wing clearance issues as the suspension has settled.

I have 4 inch over-size wings on the rear and 2 inch flares on the front and It's still not quite enough!
So for my winter project I will be removing all the wings and making them fit the car rather than vice-versa.

What have other people done (and how have you done it?) when you have widened your wings?
I'm looking for ideas.

Show us your wide wing pics!

Obviously not mine but i think these look awesome![frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

Im using standard fibreglass wings but cut slightly higher and fitted with 3 inch JDM style extensions. This will all be smoothed as one then a mould taken and produced as a one-piece arch.
You can just see them in this pic...[frame][/frame]

These are my efforts so far...[frame][/frame]

Yep, just put those on mine but they don't look right (to me anyhow) as they are.[frame][/frame]

They look pretty good man but would look great if it was all smoothed in as a one-piece arch. I think the ends of the extension need to come down to meet the bottom of the original arch so that it almost looks 'stock'. It looks cool on yours as you have matching front and rear arches

There are some over-sized rear wings on e-bay if anyone's interested:

Here's Astral Traveller's wings. They have fibreglass extensions on original steel wings.
Apart from the front indicators (getting changed), I think they are as good as you would get.

Thanks Alex i always wanted to buy thatat car if it ever came for sale

I was surprised I won it on ebay - even more surprised that it had survived as I thought it was gone. It will live again.

Pete

I didnt see it on ebay if you ever think of selling it Pete or maybe a swap

I gave it to my son - he can pay for the refurb He gave me his Minor as a swap.
