Ok , I thought I should lift the tools again after 8 months or so.
Nearside heritage wing, fit is really excellent up the a panel, seam under the headlight very very good, scuttle good, but I am a bit shocked by the gap here.
I'd wondered about removing the headlamp ring, separating the overlap on the wing and closing that down, but that would probably then mean that the headlamp ring is too big compared to the new aperture.
I've had the wing kicking about for a year, not feasible to send it back for another really.
What's the way forward? Not for a show car, competition car obviously, but I'd at least like it to look like I hadn't thrown the bonnet on from the end of the garden.

Re: Wing fitment
I had a similar experience a few years ago when doing one of my pick ups. Ended up selling it at an autojumble and using an old pattern one that fitted perfectly !
Not sure what you can do to address that issue using that wing .

Re: Wing fitment
Both of my Heritage wings were very poor in that area, although not as bad as yours! I removed the lower section and reshaped the flange to suit.
