Front wing - replacement time?
Hi, I want to replace a rusty front wing, how much time does it take?
I've heard the front bumper has to come off plus the headlight out, is there a get-around? Sounds like too much work in this rotten weather... |
Its a headlight out job and to remove the headlight you have to remove the bumper ideally.
The get-around would be to not replace but if a job is worth doing, its worth doing correctly. |

No need for the headlight to come out. Just the indicator.

It is not critical and if you break it, you will be able to fit the new wing without this bracket. You will have to pull out the bumper a couple of inches in order to put a ratchet with a 10mm socket to undo it. If it fails, angle grinder will do:) https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/attac...1&d=1525277941 https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/attac...1&d=1525277941 https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/attac...1&d=1525277941 |
front wing
phase 1 wing and phase 2 wings are different,make sure you get right one;Gatos explains it great,bottom bolts need good cleaning so socket can get grip.Not that hard to do.
