Hi guys,

The weathergods have finally given me a non freezing condition outside
this weekend. Last two-three weeks have been jumping from -2cĀ° to -13cĀ° Confused

Anyways, im gonna try to exchange the wings on my cars today. And if i got the time im gonna try with the bumpers. Laughing

Anything i need to know before removing and mounting the wings?
How many bolts are there and where are they ? Rolling Eyes
Is there any difference between the 1.4e and 1.8 regarding this matter?

Any help is well taken Smile

1 bolt at the bottom, 2 nuts inside at the back of the wing behind the arch liner, 1 at the front behind the bumper and however many on the top of it.

It ended like this:
2 10mm bolts at the bottom (one to the chassis and the other to the sideskirt
2 10mm nuts inside the wing behind the arch liner
1 10mm bolt at the front beind the bumper
4 10mm bolts at the top (visible with the hood open)
2 13mm bolts which hold the hood in place on the current side needed loosening up

And first i had to get the arch liner out, which is one torx screw on each side of the liner at the bottom. And 4-6 plastic push-in clips (they're shitty!!!)

So now i have a dent free car Cool
Also changed the nose panel/grille Wink
