Removing 320ce coupe wings

[sjc123456789]

Hope this isnt a silly question - but -

Is it difficult to remove the front wings on the 320 coupe (92k w124)? anybody done it?

thanks Simon.

I've not done it, but it looks pretty easy.

As far as I ken, they just bolt off/on.

If you're putting the same ones back on, drill a few holes through them first and you can then align them by these when they go back on.

The bolts along the top that you can see, 2 or 3 more on the A pillar in front of the door,1 under front flasher. remove wheel arch cover and 1 or 2 at the bottom where the wing meets the cill

Thanks for imput Guys,
- Television, fairly new to forums but noticed your name on here a few times. is this something you've done? are you in the trade?

I've got a restoration manual for a mk1 golf GTI (my "project" vehicle) and this looks same idea as merc, in there it just makes note the about of sticky underseal you have to get through to prise wing off - suspect this is same?
thanks Simon.

Remove circlip and drive up pin holding door check strap.
Allows door to safely open another 20degrees and gives access to bolts on A pillar without damaging paint on door/wing edge. 'Wobble' end extension handy here. Remove indicator/headlamp to access hidden screw. 2 screws behind lower side trim. Support strut behind front bumper rear side mount. Not too much underseal, they reserved that for the R107.
