Mel85 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 hi guys, just wondering if you have to drop the front bumper to remove the front wing? i've got a replacement driver side wing coming but thought I would try and get ahead of the game.. but when you dont yet have the back of a wing off the car to look at, its a job to figure out where all the mounting points are! any guides/help on here?

AdamB Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Don't think you have to remove the front bumper. Theres bolts along the wing inside the engine bay, there may also be some under the splash guard on the wheel arch. Quote
Sheehy StarletGT Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 All bolts in engine bay,Remove splash guard,Should be four bolts,Two by indicator and two by the front of the door,Then open your door and there should be one fella up top,And two down on the sill I think.Hope that helps Quote
Mel85 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 cheers people. weather permitting, i'll be on this tomorrow. Quote
Mel85 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 right, wing off, new wing on... however,,, need a new sideskirt clip where it pushes into the wing. anyone know where I can get one? Quote
aaddzz123 Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Your best bet is to just post on here to ask people that may be breaking a GT. Failing that it could just be a universal clip (don't know what it looks like lol) and you may be able to get one from some kind of hardware shop...or ebay ;) Quote
steve-gers Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Here is the clip you needhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B002SQY852 Quote
Mel85 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 like your style steve, may well end up going down that road. the things been driving me up the wall today. new wing I got from a breaker was bent by the courier... so straightening and mounting has been a complete shit! then that clip going was the icing on the cake. the wings been on and off about 5 times already, having trouble mounting the wing far enough back at the base of the car, therefore the sideskirt isnt going all the way back. its only a couple of mm out, but i'm a fussy fucker.

Mel85 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 Well it finally went on! Looking much better but unfortunately had a bit of paint flake on the edges that were slightly bent, but hey ho, nothing a touch up won't sort until the funds allow for a respray! Rather that than a nicely dented wing. Quote
boosting24/7 Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I am breaking a starlet gt il take the little clip of if you wnt Quote
Mel85 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 Thanks bud, but I got it on in the end, I don't fancy taking it off again! Cheers though. Quote
