No they are bolted, some are easy like the ones in the engine bay under the edges of the bonnet, others are much more tricky to get at. You will need to remove the plastic wheel arch liner and possibly the bumper too. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

No idea now, keep undoing bolts till the wing falls off is my advice!  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

All I remember is that it helps if you have a long open ended 10mm spanner ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Mine came as a kit, two bolts each and a bit of wiring and they've been fine ever since  If you find your radio memories reset every time you remove them, you'll want to swap the red and yellow wires.  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Right, the wing is bolted on as such - 2 bolts behind the door on the car 3/4 bolts on the top underneath the bonnet i think 1 bolt right on the front behind the bumper. Either way the bumper needs to come off on the side you're working on. Any sideskirts that are on would be advisable to pull back too. This is all from memory of doing mine 6 years ago lol. ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

The good thing about removing the wing is it's quite flexible, so it's pretty obvious where any remaining bolts are. It's just a big Mechano kit ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Would this make changing front springs easier, as with the wing out of the way, you don't need to compress the springs so much, and would be able to lean the strut out and clear the arch without having to hammer away at the hub?Then just remove top cup etc, replace spring and lean back in? Does that make any sense? ________________________________________ Team: Moonstone GTI-6™Team: ian7675 wrote: Remember....a 6 isn't just a car, it's a part time job |

But I suppose the added hassle of removing the wing and drilling rivets negates any benefit to doing it that way (unless you were taking the wings off for another reason anyway)________________________________________ Team: Moonstone GTI-6™Team: ian7675 wrote: Remember....a 6 isn't just a car, it's a part time job |

I think the arch liner would still be in the way, if you got rid of that too then yes it'd probably be much easier. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I just replaced a wing at the weekend there. there was 1 rivet on the top of the wing, which i just drilled out. the rest was all bolts. 2 on the top easily accessible, 2 behind the indicator which you need to take the bumper or slam panel off for, 2 between the drivers door and the wing and 1 just under the edge of the sideskirt.I didn't need to remove the sideskirt, when using a ratchet spanner. By far the most awkward bolt was the top one, on the inside of the wing at the drivers door. Needed uber long extension bars to get at it. ________________________________________ Road Rally car - Manstone Ph3 GTI-6.

the slam panel doesn't have to come off, you can get the wing off just by undoing the bottom bolt under the wing and it slides out. that only traps it in place IIRC and accessible from underneath with your head in the arch liner. i think you can just undo the slam panel corner bolt and it'll prize up. saves taking the full panel off for sureas above though - couple of bolts on the top, two on the inner edge at the door (use long xt bar), and the rivet at the top which may need drilling out. then one in the bottom corner of the sideskirt accessible from underneath with a torx driver. plus probably chopping some sealant but still - skirt and slam panel can stay on ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |
