N/S Wing Removal
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!!

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!

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
