I thought all mk1 wings were the same ??
I thought the only difference on the front panel was the 2 holes in the middle.
Just offered my wing up to the gte front panel and its too short ?
My second hand gte wing is spot on,
So have i just learned gte wings are in fact longer and so is the front panel ? |

Where did you get the wings? They sound like kadett pirshe wings, they had a short front panel and wings. They are mega rare.

Are the wings originals?
Has your car had a bump?
Has your car had welding done in the past?
Is your valance original?
All these factors might cause what your problem.
All original OE panels for the MK1 are the same. Bar 3dr, 4dr. |

The wing to valance should have three holes.
If you got your front valance from mm dronten, it won't be an OEM part but that's not relevant here.

Incidentally, I'm going to use plastic nuts, bolts and washers for those three holes as it's a prime rusty bit.

Some photos of the mystery wing, rather than cut up the gte front panel as wee need to, we decided to use a 1.3 front valance off a parts shell i have,this is temporary as i will get a new one.
Pulled another genuine wing out, and this has 3x holes and fits as shown.

A bit of a rarity then. |
