high top or not?

Postby jamin008 » Wed Nov 25, 2015 9:54 am

Hi

I have been told my car doesnt have high top wings. To be honest I didn't know there was a difference! Are these high top, I think they are?

Hi,I've got a 1972 Firenza with high tops and judging by the pic I think you have them also.
Regards, Dave.

I'd agree they're high tops - if you look at this photo of a flat-top wing (albeit one cut back for a nosecone) you can see the difference in that front corner.



Are you sure the person wasn't saying that it shouldn't have high-top wings? What age is the car?

Just to upset you again, being a '71 it should have the silver version of the twin headlight grille.....but does it really matter? :D

no need to be upset......I have a brand new early grille if he wants to convert to correct spec.
