    Excuse my ignorance but are Fiesta wings welded or bolted on?

    For a ten year old car I would be tempted to get a decent replacement from a scrapper.

    Me to, in the same colour as well if at all possible.;)

    as said,get a wing from a scrappers or ebay,AFAIK the wings are bolt on,if you get one from a scrapyard there is a good chance you can get them to fit it for a price
    I :love: MOJACAR
  • I had the wing replaced and resprayed on my Sierra a couple of years ago, cost me bang on £480. Seems like a fair price, especially if they have to blend the paint etc.

    A 2000 plate Fiesta would make it a mk5. The wings are a combination of bolts and spot welds. If you are careful you can remove the bolts and drill out the spot welds and remove a wing and refit to another car using bolts rather then the spot weld.

    I would be at the scrappers for a second hand bumper / wing if it were me.

    Good luck.
