Whilst looking for a CF bonnet I came across a good German site that seems to stock some good looking Galant parts. They do 2 bodykits and some spoilers as well as the bonnets but it was the following that caught my eye, especially the price.

If anyone is interested in them I may be able to work a journey across with them or at least arrange something with them to make purchasing easier.

That's what I thought, not sure of quality but they are talked about on the German forums and seem to stock other good quality products. Only other thing is the cost of painting but if you know a man who can then it's not an issue.

Both of these could be ok, but the pics aren't of 8G's so it makes things a bit difficult to tell for sure.

Great find , but I too share Gly's concern over the USDM although in Germany they wouldn't have that model. Hmnmmm how's your German Mr. Lee.............

Ok my (rough) Translation is as follows :


Have you had enough of the old Z3 style? With us you can have something new. Our F1 vents not only look good and are unique but the vents help cool the engine. You will acheive cooler engine temperatures with these wings. In addition they are very light, approximately 2kg per wing.

- Brand new wings
- Left and Right Wings
- unpainted? not sure about Leckierbereit
- Made from high quality fibreglass, OEM Quality with 7 layers of fibreglass.
- With integrated grille
- Weight Saving
- Expertly made

Nothing mentioned about USDM although the pic used is one. I don't see the issue with a USDM wing as the German motors use the same wings as ours. I know a USDM bonnet fits, why not a wing?

I am already talking to them about the Seibon bonnet as it's actually £35 cheaper than Amber Performance and the postage is 25€.

I can ask them for more information about the wings if you want.

They don't look like that any more. =)
Only looks like that cause there is no bolt/screw holden it in.

That pic was of them just sitting in there. After a bit of work and a bit of fibre glass added that gap has being removed at the door.

I am pretty happy with they way the sit now.

Not had a response yet but that could be because they didn't understand my German LOL

Perhaps they have already re-moulded them to suit EU models.

There is no major diference between the wings on the JDM and USDM Galants. If someone wants to try fitting a USDM fender on their car they can try one of mine as long as they put it back on after. :)

No bro, you have wait until later in the year for pics of them :p

I have decided to keep the galoon standard, and use it as my daily.
As I was going to buy a skyline, but brought a Rav4 instead <---look still has VR4 in the name :P Gets my lady out of the 7g :)
Wayne Ross wants me to pedal his mustang again this season. I told him I dont have the funds to do this. $20k is what is needed to pay for running cost of a season, tires/fuel/transport. Now I'm rambling.

I like the nitro racers - they are a lot of fun at the moment.
My boys and I are doing a speedway nitro racing =)

Going to sell the 7g to help fund my new project.
