[baz2236]

They are supposedly bolt in.I have a pic somewhere of all the bolts if you want it,but suzuki in there wisdom have painted over the bolts so most of them need a blowtorch or a grinder to loosen/remove them.The worst ones are the ones that attach the doors on.

Are you replacing a wing.....?

Yeah if you could find the picture that would be great,
I would check on mine but i not had chance to wash it since i went out. I hit the front wing quite badly and bent it all up so i was looking to replace it. My next question would be where do you get a new one from.

What side have you bent???? I have a half decent SJ one (mettallic blue)
if its the right one. £20 to you

They are a bit of a nightmare to find second hand without any rust in them.

I found it easier to take the whole of the front clip off as some of the bolts that join the wings to the rad panel are right pigs....in the mean time i will look out the pics or link.

Take off the wheel give the wheelarch a good clean, there are 2/3 bolts that hold the wing to the bulkhead if its the driver side there are the bolts that hold the brake valve to the wing.there is also one right ofn the lip of the wheel arch to the rear (i have forgotten this twice and made a [!Expletive Deleted!] muddle of my wing)open the bonnet and look in the corner near the bulkhead there should be 2 more bolts.Open the door there is a screw in the door shut.Then you have to get the 4 big screws off that hold the doors on (pig of a job....cut mine with a slit disc and replaced them with allen bolts)

Good luck steve
