The indicator on the other side is protected by a metal pice attached to the wing - maybe someone added that on?

Fraser,

Think the car would look way cooler lowered....... on the indicator problem; your wing look looks like it's missing the indicator box? If its a swb car then there should be a metal box in the wing that the whole indicator unit slips into to protect it, cant see it on your photo! Not sure if that's why things are playing up 'cos they're getting wet and corroding??

Probably no help whatsoever, but just noticed it as I had my wings off at the weekend!

Cheers Domo that sounds exactly like the missing bit ie the bit that is on the left side! Any idea if those boxes are available to buy?

haven't seem them for sale anywhere, think SWB wings are like rocking horse whatsit! but as the bit you need is just a flat box I guess that it would be quite easy for someone with ok metalwork skills to knock one up.

Cheers Andy,
That's what the left side looks like, guess someone must have cut that bit out of the right side at some point. As Domo says I guess someone should be able to knock one up.

Thanks guys.
