Im new to the whole sorting out car problems yourself would rather just send it to the garage, but thought bout time I learned how to do it.

I have a dent in the front drivers side wing of the car I have tried to take off the panal myself but cant get it off to pop the dent back out. I have managed to undo 3 screws from the bonnet but can't find anymore and its still connected somewhere.

Any ideas where

turn wheels full lock left and right, u have to remove the inner arch lineing, then u can get to the other bolts, i managed to do it without too much trouble, took me 2 hours

Thanks, so there is a bolt when you turn it full lock right and another when I turn it full lock left.

theres a few bolts, turning the wheel allows you to remove the inner arch lineing, then the bolts are up on ur right, ive still got my old wing in the shed, ill get some pics in the next few days and it should show where the bolts go

May be slightly different on a non vtr kit body, but should be ok and free to collect for anyone that wants it (has dent)
Shows all fixing points (as far as i can remember) either remove headlight, or cover that front point so id dosnt scratch ur light when taken off, i believe that bit is cliped, not bolted on. I think the front bumper is attached to the wing at large square tab in 3rd pic (need confirming)
