Thanks

They just clip into the holes in the wing mate. Might need a new arch if its a bit warped. Or you could try bonding it on with tiger seal or somethin similar

Wont be worth taking it to a bodyshop if your DIY minded mate. At worst your talking about buying a new wing and arch, spraying and fitting them which isnt that a hard job.

i would say the sheeps pretty wrecke, no sign of it tho when i stopped. yeh, i was hoping to do that but i wana see what they say first about what il need. the corner of the bumper is also bad cracked, about 10 inches and sits out.

you'll br ri[[ed off by a body shop.
Cheaper to look in a scrappy for same coloured saxo and take its front bumper and side skirt
Get pics of the damage up
