Hi Tony
Me and Eldavo got a pair of wings from Car Parts Express a few months ago.
The link below is to the early type wings but ours are the S2/Turbo ones. Not sure if he has any of the Turbo ones left or not?
They do not have Porsche stickers on the packaging but they have the correct part number on so not sure if they are very good copies or whether they came from a supplier to Porsche?

A fraction of the Porsche price and cheaper than people are selling rotten old wings on eBay [

Hi Martin,
Thanks, we did get 2 sets of those one side is Turbo the other N/A to be cut back I kept mine as they are for my coupe, (if required) and as a high mileage car its not a big deal if they need a little work to fit and are not quite perfect.
The body shop doing the work on David's car were not overly impressed and said they would need a lot of work along the bonnet shut line and there was also a question of if they were galvanised or not. David has kept hold of his while the search for a genuine one goes on - Genuine ones may be available again after March or not.....!
Tony
PS the cover arrived safely thankyou, its still in its bag but looking forward to fitting it!

I have a genuine one that needs a little work. It is certainly not rotten. It needs rubbing down, a tiny weld patch and a dent removing before painting. £100 if collected.

I'm pretty sure the wings that Carparts-Express were selling are made by Embo S.P.A. (I remember seeing a photo with an Embo label?).
I considered buying a pair as they had one pair left at the time, but was waiting to hear feedback on the fit.
I did contact Embo directly to see if they were still making them, but they said they were now discontinued.
