Styling really bad shut lines :(

[limited edition]

i took the wing off to replace with a freshly painted one due to accident damage on the old one, now i have to find a way of setting the bonnet straight becuase i have a massive gap on the other side and no gap at all on the side i've just replaced.

Its a 2006 3door "blue" just need to know is there an easy way of doing this as the hex style bolts for the bonnet are very well buried.

Also the new wing seems to overlap the headlight

Cheers Jon

was it a pattern part or oe?

Did you fit the correct wing?

3 and 5 door wings are slightly different around the headlamps.

The wing is off of a later model 3 door 2nd hand so presuming its a original part. and i've managed enough wigling and adjusting the bolts to make it so it lines up with the bonnet lines but my bonnet touches it at the point where its closest to the windshield

Thanks for quick replies.

i think the wing may not be fitted quite right... id line up the bonnet with the un-moved wing, then re-adjust the wing to match, then finally fine tune the bonnet again.

long winded but the only way IMO

:yeahthat:

Tbh if used its probably out of shape where it's been yanked off due to the mastic used to attach them. If pattern part then that would be why. If both then good luck
