replacing front wing

Post Tue Jul 19, 2005 9:56 am

I'm going to be replacing my front wing at some point this week, and wondered if there is any do's and don't or helpful tips that I could do with knowing?

It would be handy also to know if there is any particular easier order to take off and bolt it on!

Thanks
Marc

Simple enough job. Leave the row of bolts alomg the top till last, and don't forget the torx headed countersunk screw below the headlamp.
Bumper, grill and wheel arch liner have to come off and it is easier if you take the headlamp out as well.
Bit of seam sealant where the panels touch doesn't go amiss either.

Thats great.. thanks for advise, bumper is coming of anyhow, because I have been waiting wing, before I finished fitting the Mtech 2 kit..

Oh yes forgot seam sealant.. what stuff do you recommend, I remember using some grey rubbery stuff (technical name!!!) before..
