    Question Wing swapping ?

    How hard id it to remove the O/S Wing ?

    Went to the car today and the front offseide of the bumper looked like it was flapping in the wind

    On further investigation the wing has rotted away where it comes down behind the top of the bumper, so theres nothing to hold the end of the bumper now.

    Is it a major job to change the wing ?

    Cheers Guys

    hi cameron from what i remember

    its easier with wheel off
    undo wheel liner on bumper and take mud guard off
    undo 3 or 4 bolts on wing in engine bay
    undo a bolt in door shut near wing mirror
    undoa bolt half way down wing inside wheel arch
    take out indicator
    i think i loosened front panel and may have taken headlamp out i cant remember it was ages ago now and taken bumper off to save the weight of it hanging down at one side
    and i think theres a bolt behind corner of bumper
    and theres a bolt on a small bracket that ties into engine bay under headlamp

    you should have no probs being a mechanic

    i might have missed sumthin but its easy to do,hope this helps
