Fibreglass Wings

I've seen fibreglass front wings for sale but it seems like the the front wings might give strength to the front of the monocoque. Would fitting them reduce front end rigidty? I like the idea of the weight reduction but not if it's at the cost of handling. My front wings are a little corroded but could easily be patched.

Hi, sounds like you may need to remove your wings to carry out a proper repair of your sills. Fibreglass wings are fine but you would probly benifit from fitting a strut brace just to add rigidity.
