    Question Front Wing

    I'm after a replacement driver wing in gun metal grey (the colour of my V70 I believe) as my wing is rusting, and there's one up for sale from an S60 in the right colour. Does anyone know whether the wing from an S60 will fit the V70? My instinct is that is will but my only concern is the contours around the indicator cluster.

    Advice appreciated.....

    Regards

    James

    Thanks for the advice. The one for sale is actually off a 2001 S60 in 'Dark Grey', so I think I've found what I'm looking for.

    Wing purchased! Fitting it will be fun though, I think I may end up drilling the rivets out but I won't be able to re-rivet them as I don't have either a rivet gun or any rivets...

    I used the 850 rivets available on partsforvolvos.com and they worked for me.

    Did you need a rivet gut or do you just give them a wack with a hammer? Failing that, I wonder if the push-in rivets would work?

    Thanks! Are those the ones that start tapping on their own? Ok, kidding but I suppose I could get some from a local 'fastners' place?
