hello
just bought my first traveller and I need to new rear wings
can someone please tell me what the difference is between normal and Heritage panels (apart from the price)

also any recommendations on a parts supplier ?

regards

Ian

I have never fitted neither, but I get the impression it is a case of you get what you pay for.

Genuine Heritage fit better than reproduction ones, but that isn't to say due to the age of the tooling, Heritage are perfect.

Any of the well known suppliers do genuine panels, ESM, Bull Motif etc.

pattern panels like wings are not great. worst problem is where the wings bolt on the flanges are always twisted and badly wavey. the heritage ones are thinker steel and better quality, plus the front wing seem is better on heritage, on pattern wings they have a big line and nasty edge and always rot from there.....

I got a hadrians p/s front wing fitted along with the original d/s to my 4 door during rebuild, apparently it needed quite a bit of modification to fit. I would go with a heritage if at the right money.

The main problem usually lies with the front wings, generally around the headlight and the flange were it bolts on. The back wings usually arent as bad.
