Underneath the radiator is a cowling, support for the front wings. I can't seem to find the part number. I have the upper front cowling, that's being replaced, it's the lower part that I can't seem to find.

Any idea's or pointers?

Bit of a PITA as it's the last piece of the puzzle to get it back to looking great.

Thanks in advance

Ok, I took some pictures to point out the part I need to connect.

This is the wing:

When I am pointing to the wing, the finger pointing at the top, is to the lower front cowling, which I have bought. However, in the lower of the finger shots, it the bottom of the wing, that I believe connects to a cowling, aero device that is connected to the bottom of the bottom radiator support.

Or does it just connect to the lower radiator support?

Does any one know: a) What it's called, b) where I can get one or c) if they have one for sale.

Thanks guys. Struggling here.

Paul

Hi,
Don't know if you got this sorted, but your arrow appears to pointing to the lower radiator support which is part number A1236201386. The vertical element is A1236263514 or A1236261814.

I'm looking to replace both these parts on my car, so if you have replaced already, tips would be appreciated? Looks like removing old spot welds and replacing panel/spot welds?

Hi there, thanks for that. I did manage to get hold of a new bottom support from Germany (Eurocar parts I think - Will check invoices).

The lower side parts were rusted away, but I fabricated the edges and welded them together.
