Latest rumour is that the Wings from the blighted Mk5 J models are to be transferred onto the K's - Likely?!
That rumour has been around since early '02 after the Mk1s started taking a beating downrange. While it's not as far-fetched as it sounds (the wings are all basically the same), the real issue will be the centre wing box. If it's uprated or left as-is...stiffer outer wings on an already over-taxed centre box could spell more problems...
