Jake Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 How much is involved in removing the front wing? Is it just a bolt on item or is it welded anywhere? Does the bumper have to come off to remove the wing? Anyone got the part number for a Pre-Facelift NSF wing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Bolts only... the bumper bolts to the wing at the corners, so best to take the bumper off too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Bolts only' is good but I was hoping I wouldn't have to remove the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 An O/S wing is £157.11 + VAT from Toyota Jake if that helps... Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 Not an accident mate. Somebody kicked the nearside front wing in last night. It's all pushed in between the side repeater and the very bottom where the wing meets the front of the side skirt. At the top of the dent the wing is slightly creased and the paint has cracked, just slightly above the side repeater. I'm wondering whether to have it repaired or to buy a new wing. Trouble is that it's a non-standard colour. If the bumper has to come off I might go the whole hog and get a Whifbitz bumper and FMIC. I did ring Dude to see if he had a spare front wing (he doesn't) but I forgot to ask about whether you need to remove the bumper or not.

The car was looking really good on Sunday. Shouldn't these people be out mugging old ladies rather than taking out their frustrations on defenceless Supras I suppose nobody saw or heard anything There's only 2 bolts on the bottom front corner of the wing that attach it to the bumper, if you're careful, you may be able to gently pull the bumper outwards enough for the wing to come away once all the rest of the bolts are undone. Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Its hardly a big job to remove the bumper!!!........ apart from the wing mountings on the otherside, theres just the undertray to remove.............. and the headlamps. Wing/bumper off is an hour tops ....... including fag breaks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with it. Possible, with care on a stock bumper...........don't fancy pulling a Veilside bumper tho'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
