Default Removal of front drivers wing on a classic

Is it an easy job, looking at the replacement wing, looks like a bolt hides behind the bumper, can the front corner of the bumper be moved to gain access ?


any tips appreciated

cheers

its easy if you take the front bumper off. theyre are 2 bolts behind it,also there are 3 bolts running down the door shut 2 you can see if you open the door and 1 underneath.

cheers guys and cheers for the link, using the pic in that thread, its only the 1 bolt on th left that requires the bumper off, so i suppose i could loosen the bumper that side to get to the bolt, seems alot of work to remove the whole bumper for that 1 bolt LOL
