Wing Replacement
My thanks to Alex McLaren
Straightforward but be careful of scratching passenger door.
Remove splash panels inside BOTH wheel arches to gain access to two 10mm bolts holding wings to bumper on both sides. Front one a bit fiddley, I used 1/4 drive ratchet with extension.
Remove both headlights, two 13mm bolts and then pull headlight towards centre of car to remove ball joint fitting. Judicious use of a large flat spanner helped here.
Two 13mm bolts, very visible, are undone and then bumper slides forward and off.
Don't forget to unclip cable on your right hand side, fixed inside lower part of bumper. I cut through the clip completely here, and replaced with a cable tie on re assembly!
With careful pulling and juggling pulled the pipe which feeds bonnet washer jets from washer bottle free of car.
With help, supporting bonnet, at either side undo 4 x 10mm bolts which hold hinge to bonnet and lift bonnet clear and away from car.
Disconnect bonnet release cable, easy to get at, then 4 x 13mm bolts at either end of top plate which hold it through the wings.
4 x 10mm bolts hold top panel to air trunking and radiator top mounting fixtures and then lift off
6mm Allen key required now. Undo the line of allen key bolts round the edge of wing, one is only accessible by opening the door and carefully feeding through the gap created.
2 x 13mm nuts and 2 x 10mm bolts hold the bonnet hinge in place, remove these.
Using a putty knife (well that is what I used.) from inside the wheel arch cut away the mastic sealer which 'glue's' the inner section of the wing to the body of the car and then carefully lift wing away.
Took about an hour and a half, but I was being ultra careful!
