Hello,

Does anyone have any details/photos on removing 924 wings?

Thanks

Yeah, it's not that bad, you need some patience though.

From memory:
- loosen (but don't remove) all the easy-access bolts under the bonnet holding the wing to the shell
- pop out the rubber bonnet buffer things (be carefuly they sometimes crack)
- remove the self-tapping screws holding the lower front of the wing to the sill
- remove the bolts inside the wheelarch (rear of the wheel) 2 or 3 I think, clean area with a wire brush first to check
- remove bolts holding lower front of wing to front valance, 3 I think
- raise headlights, prise back rubber rain seal and remove tiny screw holding frontmost point of wing from shell (a small UJ attachment for your screwdriver/socket is worth its weight in gold here)
- check all bolts are out now by gently pulling lower edge of wing away from car, it should flap about a little if you've got them all out. If not, work out where it's sticking, you've probably missed a bolt
- when they're all free, remove all upper under-bonnet bolts
- using a thin knife or blade, cut the underseal strip underneath the boldheads (real annoying job) and prise the wing free
- be careful the angle at which you take it off, the front corner is easily bent.
