General Replace the front drivers wing on fiat 500

[Erickelsall]

Hello all. First time on here and looking for help.

I bought my daughter a 2011 fiat 500 1.2 lounge for her 17th birthday and someone last week hit the drivers Wing and drove off leaving a nasty dent and paint damage on the drivers wing. She's only been driving a week!!! Managed to get a new wing on the same colour code for £50 and am looking for advice on how to change it. Not bad with spanners, so should be ok. Just wondering if anyone has a how to guide or can help me out. Thanks in advance.

I think there are guides on here. I've not done a wing yet but apart from the bolts it is also bonded on too

There is a Haynes manual, but I don't know if it covers body panel replacement. Might be worth getting anyway, if you are handy with spanners you may want to service and maintain it with her - a good grounding for her future motoring if you can get her interested.

Hi.
the FIAT way is normally a row of bolts along top seam.
1 on door pillar/A post.and
an awkward one at lowest point into sill. Also LOTS of sikkaflex/tigerseal..

The packaging is TIGHT in 500 . But the GUIDES section wil help for the light clusters,etc

Try and take pics..and attempt a wing replacement guide of your own..
