Wing replacement

[Whodafunk]

Someone told me the wings are spot welded in place and require drilling out, is this right?

I've done wing before on my 406 coupe and they were just bolted on.

The later model there is 2 rivets you have to drill out, but they still kept the top 10mm bolt.

Ah, so when re fitting it needs welding back on?

No all I did was put the wing into place, then put a self tapper where the rivet used to be. The rivet is only small which drills out in seconds.

Ah, cheers. Where are the rivets located?

As you open the bonnet there on the top where the wing goes on inside the side you'll see them

You cant really miss it when you no where your looking. There normally colour coded to the wing.

green top of wing is rivets to drill out,
red m6 bolts to remove,
red/orange m6 bolt to slacken as slots in wing panel,
yellow screw for arch liner
green lower rivets securing sill trim makes easer wing removal
blue sill trim to wing panal clip

Cheers, that's a big help
