Hi, is it possible to replace a front wing without removing the front bumper or light on a TF.
Having had a few run ins with rusty bolts on the subframe, I would prefer to lessen the number of sheared bolts.

Don't think so, sorry. I had the bumper & light out of mine when I did the wing anyway but I believe there's at least one bolt at the front which needs the bumper off.

Someone who knows more than me will be along shortly though...

It is the front 2 bolts under the wheel arch that will be difficult to undo with the bumper on.

No need to remove the headlight, but the wheel arch liner will have to come out.

Thanks .I'll take the wheel off and the liner out and have a rake around.

I would take the bumper off, not difficult, unlike subframe bolts removal.

Hi, managed to remove said wing. If you are scrapping the wing, then it is possible to remove it without removing the bumper. I cut the wing at the front bumper join and undid the other easy bolts and the wing fell off.Then remove the two scews securing the bumper to the cut front bracket and the awkward bolt behind the head light is visible and can be socketed. The remains of the wing,bracket , is now off.
