Apparently SP4x4 is now offering steel wing assemblies. I'd personally prefer a return to the thicker aluminum used in Series trucks. What do you think?
"Tired of your original aluminium wings denting just by looking at them
or wing tops which bend when you lean over them to work in your engine bay?
We have had these specially made to create a much stronger wing than original. These are heavy duty items made from steel which are then E coated which is the same corrosion resistance coating as used now on all modern cars and is what is used on the all steel doors fitted by the factory on 2005-2016 Defender models.
These are made exactly as original (so are 3 seperate parts all bolted together) but just pressed from steel instead.
Often the wing top becomes dished in which can look unsightly and is near impossible to fill as once the panel has dished downwards, these are much more resistant to this and generally a much more useful alternative to the much softer original aluminum wings."
