D3 wing modification cutting template D3 to D4 conversion

Ok so before I fitted my Genuine D4 wings to my D3 I thought I would place the D4 directly on top on the D3 wing to see exactly what’s needs to be cut / modified on the D3 wing to get it to take the later 2010 on D4 headlights. Idea


Below is the silver D4 wing over the top of a black D3 wing


I then marked with a yellow marker what will need to be cut off the D3 wing





What I’m going to do next is measure the markings from the edge of the wing so those of you who wish to do this mod know what to cut off your D3 wings

Will upload the details when I get a chance Thumbs Up

Hi folks glad to be of assistance I will endeavour to get my tape measure into them tomorrow and photograph the tape measure on the wing to show what amount needs to be cut in mm. I was going to do this mod myself before I found some used D4 wings in my colour for a sensible price - I even found the cutting template but when printed the sizing was out so I wasn’t prepared to cut my D3 wings.

You need to cut the D3 wing 8 to 10 mm oversize and peen the excess back on itself to strengthen the edge otherwise you will end up with a cut raw edge that will be susceptible to rust

Really appreciate for the template but getting it into the actual size is the problem so am just relying on the actual dimensions to start my cuttings.
But I'd love to do with the template coz no chance of going wrong.

Have you tried printing it, from memory, but it was a while ago this was first done, on A4 it was scaled Confused

Gotta give it a shot at the printing place,they've got bigger printers
But I guess you could as well write the dimensions on the template itself on width and length!?

So here is the pic of the overall wing length of drivers side D4 wing



This is measured from the leading edge of the wing where it meets the door I’ve only measured the wing length to be as accurate as possible and it measures up to the mm wing the markings I’ve done on the d3 wing as below






Will add further images to this post when I get time as I’ve taken several to show the measurements of the cuts
