Sideskirts are interchangeable on all newages if I'm not mistaken. My bugeye wagon has hawkeye twisty sideskirts. They fit straight on

Hawk wagon sideskirts are unique to the wagon and need some modifications to fit blob/bug wagons where they meet the bottom of the front wing, not seen another blob with these fitted for this reason, here's mine:

You need to remove the moulded bracket on the back so it can fit as flush as possible over the wing, then bond it to the wing with 3M tape. Sounds rough but actually looks spot-on if done right.

Pretty sure bumpers won't fit. Front one will if you swap wings but rear one won't. Saloon has them wide bits on front and rear arches so bumpers are wider as well.

No there not mate, Newage wagon bumpers are narrower to fit the narrow arches.
