I'm in the Manchester area. What's the going rate (price) of new TX1 rear wings each, near side and offside and can TX2/TX4 wings be fitted on a TX1?

I got quoted £150 each, new.

If you know a good place to buy them for a decent price, give me the name of the garage.

Tried to look for them online but no luck :/

£150 doesn't sound to bad if its for a fully fitted and painted one

It's gonna look a bit strange with front (wongs) wings on the rear though, no matter how well painted!

seems a bit pricey for just the panels.
but i guess theres not much choice.
considering the fronts are more detailed than the rears.

sorry about the misspelling but !
