On another note, you could make the moulds yourself from wood and layer fibreglass over it (or carbon fibre if your good).

If you remember the calibre coachworks astra G wide arch they did years ago that was all metal panels, so you could even do it that way if your handy with a welder.

Theres a place in Southampton who build bespoke parts from carbon fibre, wont be cheap but give them measurements and a pic and ask a price, there work is 2nd to non and used by many motorsport teams.

I'm sure I have seen somewhere people using front wings off the frontera. Would take a bit of work tho

what about the gartrac escort arches, a mk3 escort and mk1 astra are very close in size.

Frontera's have flared arches that could be manipulated onto mk1 wings. All steel then!
