Hi I am looking for tips on where the bolts are located
on n/s wing as I have rust probs on scuttle.Do you have
to remove the whole wing or can you partially remove wing,
ie take off top bolts then some other bolts and move the
wing slightly away from scuttle so you can weld in a piece.
Thanks for your help

Hi there.

You will need to remove the whole wing, headlight grille, and front bumper.

the bumper comes off by removing the two T55 torx bolts form the bottom of the bumper.
then you can remove the screws which hold the wing onto the bodywork.

iirc there are 2 screws at the front next to the headlight, 2 holding the bumper mout to the wing, a few along the top and 2 at the rear (open the door)
