Hi Culminator,
I had both wings off of my car recently so I may be able to help you with this task.
1. Remove lock nut grubb screw from both front wheels and loosen hub nuts.
2. Use scissor jack placed under lower suspension arm to gradually raise each wheel, placing thin wood pieces under each tyre in turn until high enough to get trolly jack under car. (I raised car high enough to place axle stands each side of chassis & removed trolly jack)
3. Remove front wheels.
4. Undo locking nut on headlight clamping bracket, unscrew knob & ease bracket off of hinge pegs.
6. Un plug electrics from each head light unit.
7. Un plug indicators & pull off side repeaters.(only if removing front apron)
8. Gently ease H/Light unit forward away from wing and remove.
9. Undo two bolts per side on forward bonnet catch plates.
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 corners to wings.
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. Undo each side 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.
15.Whilst left wing is removed, may as well carry out oil change as filter is located under left wing.
16.Whilst grill panel is removed, check/top up power steering fluid.
Hope this helps
Regards
Robo
