Tipo front wing removal

Sister had a low speed prang in her Tipo (broken O/S headlight, bumper, crumpled O/S wing, dent in the bonnet) Hit a Fiat Ulysses actually.

It seems to drive OK though so I want to take it apart to assess if it's worth me fixing it.

How does the wing detach were it meets the sill?

I can see the bolts on the wing top and above the bumper corner, but it's not too clear were it fixes at the sill.

Cheers

Vin

There is one Bolt below the Front Door(s) and the rest are visible from the engine bay.

Re: Tipo front wing removal

Thanks for that, wing came off no problem.

After taking the wing/grill/bumper/headlight off the car steering column was still jumping about and vibrating like a ******* until it's revved and it settles. Closer inspection though found cracked paint and a kink in the side of the suspension turret. We think the engine mount has been moved back a fraction so I've condemned it.

My Sister would like another Tipo 1.9 TD though so if anyone knows of one, that isn't white, with some MOT, would be very interested.
