Hi guys, I need to remove the nearside wing from my classic and replace with one I have just acquired. I have found an old thread showing a walk through which is great. I just wondering if it is completely neccessary to remove the front bumper? It looks fairly complicated!!

 

Bumper & side skirt need to come off as there is a nut behind the side skirt.

 

Front bumper is dead easy to remove.. but yes it needs to be removed as there are some bolts behind it.

No need to remove the whole side skirt as you can just lower it down a little and gain access to the bolt behind here (probably rusty as hell and will snap)

Then the rest of the bolts are under the bonnet

 

Cheers guys, was hoping I wouldn't have to take the bumper off but if it's easy then fair enough! Just hope there's not too many hidden bolts on the bloody thing!

 

You will have to remove front headlights and grill to get to the 7 clips i think holding the bumper at front, 2 nuts on each side & i think 3 underneath.

Its easy though.

 

Bloody hell...sounds like I'm gonna have fun!! I'll give it a bash...cheers for all the help....Me thinks I'll be needing it!

 

replaced my n/s front week a month ago on my 93wrx 30 mins work and the bumper stayed on just took sidelight out and lowered sideskirt a little peace of cake

 

Fantastic...that's the easy answer I was looking for! Cheers Bud!

 

im pretty sure the only bolt that was a pain was by the bumper had to loosen the bracket slightly nothing major theres 3 i think by the sidelight rachet spanner is verrrry handy if your close to me i can give you a hand

 

Ah, cheers for the offer....unfortunately, Edinburgh is a wee bit of a trek away! Gonna try and find some time to have a bash at it tomorrow so will let you know how I get on!

 

Wing done this morning! All went fairly well other than the very bottom bolt head shearing off when I was putting it back in! Pity really....had considered drilling it out and worst case sticking in another bolt to the side of it. Doesn't seem to be much movement in it so will leave it for now and see how it goes! Cheers for all the help
