What colour? Any cracks, chips, spiders? Is there a difference between narrow and wide body clam shells?

Always a market for proper wings :p but a lot depends on condition and getting them transported around the country ( first weekend in May I’m travelling from n/e Scotland to Heathrow and back, now if they’re white.....)

sorry, no they are the same wether on a narrow or wide body , if painting I use etch primer and 2 pack paint and then rubberised stone chip underneath

Maybe, especially if you have the wing support stays as well as the clamshells and someone is considering a set for a project car.

They are no longer available from Westfield (except in white) so there's definitely going to be a growing market for them, especially if the fibre glass isn't cracked / good condition.

Westfield are only doing the standard body in white now and doubled the price of it. They do them white because white hides a lot of sins. Seems to me Westfield are dropping the low sales items and looking a profit figures.
