I've been quoted £860.00 to supply, fix and paint winglets to my Tuscan, sounds like pants down time!

[froggie]

people tend to do that, they should be named and shamed,although i believe the originals are about 250+ each if i remember,
(may be we should avoid the non branded)
**ring the number i posted above for a pleasant surprise on theise or any thing tuscan or carbra* there very easy diy fit and most body shops can paint them from the paint code in your boot

The originals were £177.00 plus Vat EACH. The factory would only supply them to Tuscan2-S owners only.
If you have the Pepper Grille in,the winglets won't fit.

There seem to be a lot of non-S's trying to look like 'S's.. splitters, Red Cam covers, badge changes.

Is that the case? or are some people individually tayloring their Tivs to their own spec/ requirements?

Can they not be cut or shaped to fit ? Wouldn't mind trying it (on a cheap pair) if they could, as I fitted a pair to my Chim and they seemed to improve front end stability at speed. They look good on the later Tuscans as well !

Badge changes?? I've not heard of anyone trying to make their Tiv something it's not by changing the badge! Upgrading shocks, brakes etc - yes. Maybe even a front splitter but I can't see the harm in that to be honest.

Hi Dave, I thought yours was an S, no? It's certainly S-spec, right?

Hi Andy, how ya doin' mate. No, my car is a standard Tuscan Two but came out of the factory with the full Tuscan 2 "S" body kit (its a long story) so has always, from birth, looked like an "S".Its got the blue cam cover though. I was always being told by folk, "Do you know you've got the wrong badge on your boot lid, it should be an "S" badge" If they had paid more attention to the tyre and brake sizes and lack of boot mounted arial they would have realised it wasn't an "S". Anyway an "S" badge came up for grabs, so I fitted it although I never tell porkies about what it really is.

As the engine pulls 322bhp at the wheels following a bit of tweeking its probably quicker than most "S" cars anyway. The way I look at it is I've got a car that looks like one, drives like one, performs like one, so it might as well be one!!

Oh, when I ordered the car, the "S" was 10K more expensive so I've kinda saved 10 grand
