Not sure how it snapped... Wasn't driving it hard when it happened. Must of snapped before but the bolt must of stayed in place. Either way i didnt hit any bumps hard or anything before.

I found the bolt on the floor outside work lol.

It is very odd to break one of those bolts to be honest.

You should not need stronger bolts, I have never known one to break.

gutting... never heard of that happening before!

I'm confused, how come you got your car all nicely sprayed if you intended to replace the wings!?  :shocked:

I wasn't intending on new wings until I realised they weren't pulled out enough!

Wasn't going to take it off the road over winter, I figured there was no sense in going so far with tidying it up, etc. Just means more can go wrong (taking engine out, etc) and more money.
