Front wing replacement

[Davie mac]

Got the really bad rust issue round my front wheel arch and thinking of changing the wing rather than respraying ect,have any of you guys done this? Is it hard to do?

just bolts. pop the bumper off, bolts along top, behind door, pull wing off. fit new wing, line it up, job done. do them both if you are going to do both and tie it in with a timing belt change if you can due to the bit about removing the bumper.

Thanks for the reply buddy,it's just my left near side wing that's bad the other side seems to be ok,think I'm just Gona buy a pre painted one and swap it myself,as I'm only changing one side I think I can get away with undoing one side of bumper just to allow me access to get wing un bolted,the only bit I'm unsure of is where the sill covers wing,fortunately the cars just had new belt water pump and clutch flywheel done,bought the car in February and the arch was fine now it's all bubbly,dodgy repair job I reckon.

Sounds like it's had a scrape at some point and a dodgy repair as you say. New wing is definitely the best way to go
