    Help! S2 Avant Wing Removal

    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.



    From behind


    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?

        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.

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

                            Afraid not. I am curious how it passed its last MOT, with jaggies like that.
