Wing alignment help

[Dan318-is]

fitted a new front wing today which actually went suprisingly well!

only thing is it is slightly out of line at the top. i didnt do any of the bolts up at first, lined it in place but were the wing meets the door/window it is slightly out; if you down the passengers side from the back of the car you can see it needs to be pushed in more?

an iv tried pusing it in and doing the bolts up also

any tips/advice for this?

is it a o,e part or a rep?

it sounds like the old sealent might need scraping off so you have more movement

Its OEM people

Dips my good man, do you mean the sealent at the top yes? i had to cut that with a stanly in the first place too

i mite give it a try in a mo

Is it a new wing?

If is second hand it might be slightl bent with age on the previous car.

Cars must bend a few mm over 15 years right? and if your car has bent a few mm the other way to what the car that the wing came from then you will never get a perfect panel gap.

Or am i just making things up?

its of nelly (neil) and i dont think its bent, looks bloody straight to me

its only a few mil out of line; il get some pics an try in a mo and update in a tic

well, its in further now after i removed the sealant (thank you) but now iv realised it needs to go towards the door more; but i have to undo all the bolts for this so will do it when i have more time/less beer in me
