Hi

I'am on the search for some Nova MKII front wings.

Trying to find brand new genuine part is proving a wee bit tricky!

Looking at a used wing is there anyway of telling a genuine Vaux part from pattern?

I know Ford, VW / Audi have there logo stamped on each pannel. Vaux i know never did this but is there any way by just looking at a wing of telling what it is??

Cheers

Martin

Many gm panels have a 3 number stamp on them iirc on the wings it's along the top edge where the bolts hold it to the inner wing.

Do they now. Cheers bazil,

Pretty sure my wings are pattern & fit like ****, hence me wanting to try genuine GM.

Can anyone confirm above & maybe a picture???

Thanks

I know of some genuine mk2 wings, not sure if they are for sale though but I'll ask and point the owner in the direction of this thread, but money talks

I don't think the genuine ones have the holes either.

I know there is a difference at the bracket (in the way that it's attached) that the grill clips too, but without seeing one in front of me I can't remember!

The genuine ones I have spare have a sticker inside with the Vauxhall part number on. Also no genuine wings have a side repeater or ariel hole, they need to be drilled.

That's good if they are new but Reading martins post, he is looking for a way to tell second had or painted ones if they are gen or pattern

Sure-fire way to tell (as said) isto look fo a weld along where the indicator recess is...

The GM wings were all one mould and didnt have the 'seam', whereas the aftremarket wingers were just modified mark one jobbies!

here are pics of my GTE wings, the n/s one is genuine and has the stamp but the o/s is pattern and doesnt have it.

i notice both cars have it stamped between the 2nd and 3rd bolt holes from the indicator.

I know theirs a fair few of the guys on here have brand new spare ones but are very reluctant to part with them in case of future use etc. If not on here they do come up on ebay now and again so Id keep an eye out on their Martin also.
