HI,
someone crashed into me while i was asleep woke up went out to find my car offside wing shortened :P
so i replaced the broken light, but cause the wings bent doesnt fit aswell with the bonnet, just wandering how i remove it as i shall replace it :) think i know but a few pics to show where all the bolts are and any other small bits i need to remove are would be nice :)
also looking to buy some small bits to improve the look/performance of my corsa if any one would like to message me with cheap bits for sale that would be nice :) thanks :)

Do you not have a Haynes manual for it? Those things are a godsend! If noone gets back to you later, ill have a flick through and see if it tells you how to do it - i know im using it soon to replace my rear drivers door after someone backed into it :(

On my 5Dr, it's bolted and not overly difficult to remove. Not sure if it's the same for the smaller 3Drs though.

right then, "cough cough" i believe theirs three or four bolts under the bonnet, then open the door and theirs one at the top of the wing, and then theirs one on the sill and im pretty sure thats all their is. take all them out then give it a good yank with it being bent aswell it might be stuck somewhere.
