well today i changed the wing, but on removing the sideskirt i find 2 holes, one the size of a golf ball and the other i could get both hands in, i dont have pics of them because the batterys where on charge, but i do have pics after the work was finished, check it out

i used the old wing for the welding repairs

hehe i've not removed my side skirts yet, too scared about what horrors i may find under them . .

but i got a cheap set of prima racing side skirts from ebay, just need painting, so when i am ready to fit them, the horrors will be unveiled.

As you have had the wing off, i can ask you how easy it is, i want to change both my front wings on my ph2 so how easy was it? lol

yep thats fine mate pop over whenever you like, there will be a cupa waiting

the wing only takes 10 mins to get off and that includes the sideskirt, the worst place for rust is the screw hols that hold the top of the sideskirt on, when i pulled mine off it took half of the car body with it Confused

so the whole day was taken up by cutting and welding.

exactly where mine went. except my sills have gone more underneath where the little vertical return meets the underside of the sill.

iv adjusted the picture so it is easyer to see how big the hole was

after i finished i went along the whole sil with underbody sealer, i would also recomend that anyone replcing a wing to underbody seal the iner wing once the original wing has been removed, also do the bottom of the new wing, as you will see when you take the old one off it will be full of mud and other crap, its a nice little place for rust to start.

since it only sticks out about 2mm it shouldnt be a problem but if it is then i will sort it

well just took the car for a spin after cleaning the throttle body and the car runs very nice now, but the digi part of the dash is not lighting up, so i have no way of telling how much fuel i have Confused

everything else in the csr works appart from the digital clock and feul guage, there shouldnt be a bulb, i dont think it works like that, it woks in the same way as a calculator disply.

Yeah, it does, its an LCD, but there are 2 bulbs behind it to iluminate it, you should still be able to see it though even it they have blown.
