Hi Andrew,
Great, perhaps we could meet up some time, but in the meantime here's some bed time reading...
Front Wing Removal (previously posted, but now amended)
1. Remove lock nut grub screw from front wheel and loosen hub nut
2. Use scissor jack placed under lower suspension arm to gradually raise wheel
3. Remove wheel
4. Undo locking nut on headlight clamping bracket, unscrew knob & ease bracket off of hinge pegs.
6. Un plug electrics from head light unit.
7. Gently ease H/Light unit forward away from wing and remove.
9. Undo bolts on forward bonnet catch plate
10.Remove bonnet hinge plates front & rear & lift off bonnet in one piece (no need to remove bonnet if removing just one wing)
11.Undo nut & bolt on grill panel corner to wing
12.Remove grill bolts top & bottom - remove grill & panel
13.Looking down through headlight aperture you'll see a connecting plate which ties the wing to the lower front apron - loosen lower nut & remove top to finally free up each wing.
14.Gently ease front of wing upwards away from location on front apron & when free, pull wing forwards to release from rear slot location at runner board - job done...
Whilst left wing is removed, may as well carry out oil change as filter is located under left wing.
Whilst grill panel is removed, check/top up power steering fluid.
Runner Board:
I've not taken these off my car, but I would say that once front wing has been removed, it would only require removal of the two bolts at the rear end & a few along inner edge to release runner board.
Hope this helps...
Regards
Robo
