I used black door /draft strip, and stuck it on to the wing, once its all clamped together you can hardly see it

What type of rubber piping should I go for, as there are so many options and my car has nthing so I can't compare.

In the Woolies page go to Rubber then Extrusions, item R615. I used something similar but the tubular parts is 6mm dia. Look in Baines for that.

Yep, ditto 
I cut holes out at the points where the bolts go through and small notches (read triangles) to help the stuff follow the curve of the arches.
I think most people on here use that stuff, I think it's called Tadpole Trim?

Thanks for the information.
I just bought this ex-race car and now need to fit all the new panels I bought from Low7man (ebay), who has great prices on nose, scuttle, f&r
wings (narrow ones for escotr axle) and rear pannel - £200 for the lot. I will take some pictures when it is all bolted together and looking better
than my profile pictures shows.

Used tadpole piping but not rubber though, stiff PVC type stuff. Used evo stick impact adhesive on wing edge and piping to hold in place, V's
cut in a number of places to get a good curve and around bolt holes. The evo stick help in that you can get the wings on and off by unbolting without
having to get the radpole trim in place each time..
