Mb/Ma wings

[Japkierz]

Ay up lads indeed of some help please. Can’t find any wings for my Mb1/Ma. Would buying a full front end of an mb6 fit nicely? 
 

Needing to know ASAP please

@Dave - do you know the answer here? I've got a feeling I've heard of this being done but not sure

According to the list below "Front wings....All different" so I think you will need to get an MB front end. Ones from a lower spec MB should be cheaper though - the main differences I've seen are headlight washers and the lower lips are different on VTI and VTIS models.

The short answer is yes as anything can be done. If you have a welder, or know someone who can weld, it can be done. You will need the following:

• Full front slam panel/valance.
• Possibly the front crash bar as most likely slight differences.
• Headlights
• Bonnet
• Grill
• Front wings.

The current pre-facelift slam panel will need the spot welds drilled out then cut/removed from car. The face-lift panel will then need offered up and aligned (probs best just tacking it into place to trial fit everything). Once your happy with alignment, you can then either get the spot welds redone or butt-weld the holes. Seam welds any bits that were seam welded before.

If you can, get the plugs from the MB wiring just in case there's a difference (shouldn't be). Then it's just a case of bolting everything on. It's been done here in the forum on a few cars, including one our members changing the front end on his Rover 400 to the Civic MB front end so deffo can be done. Let us know how you get on and get plenty photos mate.
