A few questions about 136 Rapid brakes & Estelle wings.

[Mgbgt]

Hi, I'm new to skoda ownership and restoration but have a few questions like do estelle 120 wings fit a 136 rapid and where to get either 136 4 pot front calipers or repair kits? First jobs are to get some brakes and get it running before I go too mad!! Thinking restore to original or retro🤔!!!

@Mgbgt As you'll see from Wikipedia the Estelle was facelifted during production, so there's no certainty either way about the wings.

OK thanks, good too no. Just wondering if anyone had tried as they look very similar but don't want to be wasting my hard earned 👍

I think that if you can match the headlight (7" round, 2x 5.25" round or rectangular), the wing should fit.

 

Last time I had anything to do with Estelle brakes they were still in production though.
