Help! S2 Avant Wing Removal

[irishs2]

Ok, after battling broken captive nuts rusty bolts I have nearly everything off than need to be off to take off the wing. Its the lowest trim on the wing thats catching me. I cannot figure out how it comes off. Its different to the coupe as that requires two plastic nuts to come off.

Does the sill have to come off so the wing can come off? Anyone BTDT?


Cheers

At the front the bit of trim at the bottom of the wing is held on by a metal tag and some gunk, once thats off there's two cross head screws behind that you have to un do.

This any use mate?

Thanks that looks right, fecking adhesive.. like wtf so I went a bit further and yep those are the two screws

But they are behind the sill cover .. bollix!!

You should get in there with a long screwdriver, When i've removed wings off avants with s2 sideskirts on i've managed to do it.

The screws are torx screws, Terrybullwon can tell you size

Thats my backup axle stand, the other axle stand is supporting from the other side of wishbone.

See what happens when you try to repair a scratch/dent with duct tape.
