Front wing removal

[joe_h]

Hello,

Just got a front wing to replace my dented one, Is it pretty straight forward to get the old one off and replace it?

I've seen the torx screws under the bonnet and understand there are others ,, but could anyone give me a quick walkthrough as ive never removed any panels before.

Much appreciated!

Make sure you undo the two screws under the side skirt or you'll snap it. Just like I did but nothing a bit of mastec doesn't sort out!

Remove all 10mm bolts from top of the wing.

Remove front bumper, undo 10mm bolt down near the headlight.

Remove sideskirt, remove two 10mm bolts from bottom of the wing where it meets the sill.

Remove arch liner then you have access to the 3 10mm bolts inside there.

Unplug indicator.

There's a bit glue along the bottom but with a bit tugging it should come off.

thanks elliot, did fathom it out in the end.. lol

but wing isnt sitting flush to the door, it's sticking out a tad =/ also my bonnet isnt sitting flat on the rest of the car, also popping up abit... reckon it's curved somewhere from the impact of falling into a ditch? doesn't look damaged though...

I have had mine stripped down for a respray and it's the same. I reckon it's gonna take a good hour or so or bending and twisting to get it lined up again.
