Mk3/4/5 bolt on wing conversion??

Postby MinorMatt » Mon Sep 01, 2008 10:13 am

Hi Guys

We all know that the front wings on mk3/4/5s rot extremely well! I was wondering if anybody had converted their front wings to be bolt on? I need to replace both of mine shortly and I was wondering if it was possible. Im intending to keep the van for a long time so it might well make my life easier in the future :)
