not sure about torque settings but should be here on the site if you search

yes two 10mm heads to undo

carefull tightening them cos they can snap

whilst your there change rocker gasket if you want

yeah will probably do that why i have it off, worth doing i suppose, got a slight dint in my front passenger wing, think i may need to replace it, but thats only cosmetic and will take 15 mins to fit a new wing

just seen too many VTR's like mine with black wheels, i like to be different lol

call the ding buster man lol

fitting a new wing is easy but getting color to match and alignment spot on is not easy, trust me ive re-aligned a front end saxo before and its a mission

well ive had this one on and off a few times and managed to line it up again after some fiddling, and i will just get another wing off a possi blue, makes life simpler there about £25-£30 off the bay but may get a better deal at local scrappy

so true, guess slight miss-match will come out by a cut & polish

yeah nice mashine polish should do the trick.. i hope only keeping the car for 6 months so dont want to spend mega pounds on it, but just tidy it up a bit also, theres a random, HOLE in 1 of the frong headlights, need a replacment glass for it
