I certainly don't have the skill, space or time to replace my front wings....
Although I have a few mechanical problems, the car is running great - I'm enjoying the noise! However the car looks very tired - especially the front wings. Can anyone recommend a good body shop near Tring?
Wings are easy to replace
Have a go, you ll be glad of the accomplishment when you be done them
Once bumper is off there are only a few bolts and a couple of torqx heads to get at at the bottom of the wing
Next time I take some off I'll do photos (I have some already off that came with a car, so can't show them!)
There's only one potential problem bolt which goes into a captive nut which can spin. It's around the middle of the row of bolts along the top where the bonnet closes, has a bigger head than the rest. Getting the bumper off can be a pain if it hadn't been off for a few years, soak all the bolts in plus gas for a couple of days.
ok - you have me convinced to have a go. I guess nothing ventured etc. where would you recomend I look for replacement wings? Are they still making them? I had the bumper off ~ 5 years ago... Hopefully nothing has seized up.
I'll get the suspension sorted first anyhow... once I'm properly back on the road I'm sure the enthusiasm will take over.
Now that the car is running smoothly and my enthusiasm restored. This is my list:
1. New tyres & balance - done
2. Fit new Bluetooth radio so the missus can call me when I'm out playing - done
3. Swap front suspension - parts on order
4. Replace drive door catch - popped open on me while moving (not a pleasant experience) part on order
5. Replace both front wings - still looking
6. Get rid of the 'old car smell' Mould has gone, but still unpleasant
7. Consider touch up/respray to return from pink to red . Noticed a bubble on rear wings as well
8. Work out why my plasma dash has stopped lighting up.
