mk2 front wing removal
« on: 17 February 2009, 23:31 »
i have done a search but couldnt find anything so sorry if this has been  put on before  :smiley:


as the title really, what needs to come off for the front wing to come off, so far i have the bolts on the top of the wing, 2 just inside the fornt bumper and 1 underneath just inside the wheel.

Down the back of the wing, there are 2 or 3 bolts that are buried  under thick underseal, If your replacing the wing, it might pay you to cut the back of the wing with a jigsaw, leaving a few inches of the original in place, this will allow you to easily locate, those hidden bolts, using a hot air gun can soften the underseal, just enough to get a socket on.. if your lucky!, otherwise, it will need scraping off.
Hope this helps
Tom
