Lowlight wing flange

I’ve just bought a pair of fibreglass lowlight front wings from a ‘well known supplier’. The flanges are in place for fitting to the inner wings and A post but nothing on the front edge to attach to the grille panel. Is this right? If it’s right like this how is the front edge of a lowlight wing secured? I haven’t got old ones to compare.

They should just bolt up to the front panel using the hockey sticks as per the steel version. I assume it's a lowlight front panel you are bolting them to, as later panels are a different shape - as are the hockey sticks.

I am using an original steel lowlight grille so I assume the wing should have a front edge flange to join the hockey stick. Have I been sent a defective part?

Nope. Just drill through the grille holes to line it up.

Hockey sticks go through front panel, front wings then inner wings.
