The final two bolts are hidden behind the bumper, so you will have to detach the bumper on the appropriate side. There may be a further bolt under the door sill that also needs carefully attention to remove it properly. Pay due attention when the bolt is fully removed, as the bolt may fall down and become stuck in the gap between the door and the car’s bodywork. It is difficult to access this with the spanner so use a socket set. Next locate the single bolt that is situated behind the door hinge. Once you have taken off all the bolts, put them in a safe place and remove the scuttle panel, which may be attached via a small bolt or screw. These are inside the wing in the engine bay, and may require a considerable effort with the socket set for full removal. Work along the wing methodically and remove the bolts that hold the part in place one by one. Raise the car up using the trolley jack and completely remove the wheel nuts, placing the wheel out of the way. Whilst the car is still on the ground, loosen the wheel nuts as this will be difficult when the car is on jacks. Remove the Front Wheelįirst, as with all mechanical work, make sure the car is parked on dry flat ground with the handbrake engaged. You will need: socket set, Philips screwdriver, spanner, trolley jack, and axle stands. It’s doesn’t require any mechanical changes with the engine and there are no tricky moving parts. In the event that your wing is either too damaged to be fixed, or not really worth the money of employing a panel beater to fix, then changing this part yourself should be simple.Īnyone with a modicum of engineering experience should be able to replace the wing on their vehicle. Small accidents or collisions could cause this part to buckle or bend, becoming completely useless. Due to the age of the vehicle if this had gone through insurance this little Corsa would have been a written off, but it was brought to us.Your car’s wing is an integral part of its bodywork. The Corsa belongs to an elderly couple, who have had the car since new and it’s served them well for a long time. This Vauxhall Corsa came in for a front wing repair, after being hit by another driver. Here’s our little Vauxhall Corsa, repaired, painted and fitted with new parts, ready to go after a wash and wax, (we wash and wax all your cars before they go back to you). We then fitted the new front wing, (you can see the damaged part on the stand). The new front wing was sprayed with primer and then painted white, to match the original paintwork of the Corsa.

We sourced and bought a new front wing for the Corsa, to replace the damaged part.
