View Full Version : G-Wing

So i've successfully found my self a G-Wing from Millsys Autos down south, I see a few members I'm friends with on Facebook have liked the page so I'm assuming its going to be good quality?

Having no tools means fitting might be a hassle and I don't particularly want to mess it up, is there anyone on here that would be willing to help me out with fitment??? ( I will travel far and wide :motoring: )

Lastly, I'm having an awful time trying to decide wither the accompanying Cooper spoiler should go gloss black with the G-Wing or keep it Dark Silver, HELP. Or wither I should just take the Coop S spoiler off and replace it with the G-Wing, I can't seem to find any pictures online with the Coop + G-Wing Spoilers on together.

Craig mills auto are the genuine ones he worked along side Rich fitting the wings ect for him
I can also help you fit the spoiler you have to remove your S spoiler tho and go for a cooper spoiler if you want a to run both in think it looks good with both

Awh brilliant I'm happy it's going to be good then [emoji106]🏽

Rob that would be an awesome help, I'd really appreciate it!

Any input on cooper spoiler colour? It's difficult because my roof is Dark Silver too so I don't know if it should match the G-Wing or the roof colour!

Craig like I said I spoke to Jason and he did say that he would not post its collection only but I've got my fingers crossed for you.
I'm sure but not 100% positive that the G Wing will not fit with the S spoiler in place. I'd preempted that and managed to acquire a spoiler in case I ever get one ! That's stashed in the parts bin ...

I'll wait until he contacts me again and if it is the case maybe I can ask very very nicely and arrange a courier [emoji17]

No, the last time I had my name down for one, he won't post, I was just going to do a wee road trip for one as he's open on a Sat morning, but the car I lined up fell through so I cancelled the order. Just going to pick up next time though as hope to have a 53 S soon. Not far!

Just got the email on Saturday, and as going on holiday soon leaves me a tight window to go down and get them so seeing if I can get someone to pick then up for me and post them as he won't post them. Are they very fragile, as he won't post them, just wondering?
cheers

I got told about it on Saturday too, booked half hour later and made it to my hotel at midnight, that's a shame I would have picked one up if I had thought about it!

I'm not sure why they won't post, don't think its for fragil reasons

Seems a tad confusing here, supplier on MT are delivering to all corners of the world but just messaged Millsys Autos and he says he doesn't deliver due to a few reasons, sounds like two different sources here, and I'm struggling to get down atm due to holidays coming up! :argh:
cheers

- - - Updated - - -

All understood now after speaking to Millsys. They are a batch that they ordered off Richie when he was ill to help him out, the other guy Oli must have worked with him and they are starting to produce them again with first run sold out. I can get one delivered to the Mini show at Staffordshire if someone could pick it up for me, although I know they might be too big for folk to put in an already packed car, let me know if you can help
cheers Paul

Cause I'm still looking for one :blush: in the middle of house purchase so moneys tight, and got to watch the pennies but been looking at a few. Just looking for a cheap one to spend a few pennies on mods, got set of ST XTA's coming courtesy of KW and set of 1552 Tarmacs hopefully or set of Bola's so just trying to gather parts at the moment. Also saving for new Harley Davidson as well as miss my last one!

Thanks for the offer there Craig, I'll get back to Millsy and pay for it
cheers Paul

Tarmacs!!! That's been my plan but I can't fund them yet! Can't wait to see them!

I've paid for the spoiler Craig so that would be great if you could collect for me, I've told Millsy that it would be picked up at show and I'll get his number so that he can meet up with you, thanks again
