are the front wings the same on the Bravo and Brava? they look the same but i just want to make sure. i know the marea and hgt are different.thanks

yes they're the same.

i'm scared to ask, but why do you need one?

i had a bit of as knock last year and i needed a new wing..the wing that was fitted isn't fiat. it stands proud, theres a big gap between the door and the wing and its just not the right shape.

I got sideskirts a few weeks ago but the paintshop is so busy they could only get around to doing them last week..the painter started on the sideskirts on thursday but hurt himself on a compressor so he couldn't finish them. So I thought i might aswell try and fix the wing before i fit the sideskirts. went looking over the weekend but every wing seemed to have some imperfection.:bang: :bang: I'm going to have a ring around today and see what i can get!

thanks jug!

definately do the wing before fitting the skirt.

Its either fix it now or leave it. it isn't really that bad but i notice it every time i see the car. and when i sell it, it will be spotted a mile off!

found one any way, €25 which is ok..hopefully it will be in good condition!!the only thing now is trying to fit it

they bolt on, its easy, i thought there was a single weld where it meets the sill but i was geting confused with another car (escort i think) so its simply a case of bolting it on, should take half an hour at most.

you'll never work in a garage
(although saying that, getting the front bumper off can take a while on a bravo so i'll revise my estimate to an hour )

yes they're only bolted on.

the bumper is grand to get off. The wing isn't just bolted on..there is a "spongy" kind of adhesive used aswell!

that sponge is just foam covered in a sticky coating, its used to block the gaps up, you can pull it out easily enough without damaging it. i had to do that when i laid the live wire for my amp through the wing.

Jug you are getting old your memory is going Your brain can only hold so much information! Otherwise soon it will all spew out uncontrolably they will have to put you in a home where you can bore the carers by randomly telling them how to change injectors whilst dribbling...

a home?! hell no, i'm going to a scrapyard.

No thats not the bit i'm talking about..when you open the door you can see that and you can pull it straight out. But i'm talking about on the inside of the wing the metal is bent out to join up with the car..its like a lip..there is some kind of adhesive used there.
