   You can buy from from Peugeot from the 106 gti, these are not a straight fit though and you may have to make certain modifications such as welding the end brackets into place etc

   i got some of a 106, and am gettin mine done on the 10th march ill get some pics up when they are done. I dont think the wing would bend and like willsy said they have to be welded back on and the only way u can get them of a 106 is to drill them, as it took me 3 hours to get them.
