Removing front wing??? 850

Jan 18th, 2006, 14:50

Can anybody please tell me if this is easy to do and if so how???

ive managed to put a dent in it, and think it would push out if i could get behind it.

And help please?

Ive got somebody who has a wing, but i dont want to buy it until i know how easy its going to be to get the old one off....

As far as I know there is no welding involved, the wings are bolted on. Should be quite straightforward. Have a word with a local bodyshop, I'm sure they'd give you a tip or two.

As I understand it the hard part will be realigning the new wing so the bonnet edge and door-side edge look 'proper'.
I believe the ease of this depends if the wing is original or aftermarket.

Thanks for the replies :-)

Its an original wing, i'll post abck here when ive managed to change it, somebody else might find it helpful, since nobody else seems to have done it.
