I've been meaning to replace my driver side front wing for a while now but haven't really got round to doing this yet.
What I need to know is, is it essential to remove the arch liner/splash guard or are the two bolts which are under the headlight accessible by removing the headlight?
If so which way makes more sense doing this job, removing the headlight or the arch liner?
Thanks

You need to remove the liner to access some of the other bolts anyway, so its gotta come out... It's not difficult to remove though.

They can end up being a bit of an arse.
There are two bolts in the headlight area like you mentioned. Then they are often riveted along the top which you can see when you open the bonnet.
There is also a bolt way up inside the wing towards the bottom of the windscreen that's annoying to get to.
This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted above as fact.

Yeh its easy to do. Give it a go. The arch liner does have to come out though.

The two screws at the rear (one near the top, one near the bottom) only need undoing a bout half a turn as the hole is a slot to the edge of the wing. The ones near the headlight are easy to get to, just use a 10mm socket.
