front wing change - can an idiot do it?
got a replacement front passenger wing for my bugeye wagon that's hopefully the right colour.
is it a job a complete mechanical no-hoper could attempt or would I be better off getting a mechanic to swap it over? thanks for answers in advance |
its simple, i repaired emmaroids damaged wing yesterday.
you need to remove the front bumper,grill and headlights and the side skirt needs unclipping at the front. then there is a bolt where the headlight sits,3 inside engine bay,then open the door and you will see 2 more and finally the last one is under the sideskirt. should take a couple of hours |
^^^ Yes an idiot can do it :D

well bumper off sounds far too technical for me. How much should I expect a mechanic-type to charge me - hour's labour? more?
|
seriously mate its simple the bumper is mostly held on with push clips that pop out and two screws in the wheel arch. its a simple job and worth doing yourself.

thanks guys but if you knew me you wouldn't trust me to change a wiper blade.
so from the pic shown the bumper doesn't have to come completely off? and what tools would I need? |
