Front wings

#1 Post by new to this »

[color=#4000FF Do all front wings have a hole for the front bumper ? as i bought a Black wing think it came off an SE, but there's no hole for the bumper , would that mean its been repaired before ? as cant see any repairs on it

If it’s not been on a car there was a batch produced without the hole, I know one of mine didn’t and had to be drilled out. If you think of the early Toledos they had to be short bumpers and as such they wouldn’t need to have the hole in.

Oddly, the bumper bolt hole free wings supplied as OE replacements lasted a whole lot longer in production than the "shortie bumper" Toledo! Probably as late as 75 in production terms but sometimes much longer on selling dealers shelves!
