How do you take the wing off a fiat punto?

Answer 1

For mark 1 punto 1993 - 1999

First of all you will need to take off the front bumper to do this you need to remove the front indicators to do this open up the bonnet there is a wire loop holding them in place (one on each side) pull back and release these the indicator should slide forward and the bulb fitting twists and pulls out do this on both sides (you do need to) be careful with the exposed bulbs (as I broke one while trying to refit the bumper) now to remove the bumper undo the bolts (4) on the under side then under each wing inside the inner arch you may need to pull the arch across a bit to get in (2 on each side) these are a pain then the 4 bolts on top of the bumper 2 were exposed when you removed the indicators you may need to undo some screws from each wheel arch usually 1 each side but this changed as the better models came out carefully remove the bumper by pulling it forwards. Now on to the wing. on the side you wish to remove it may be easier to remove the wheel and then the inner arch reach up inside to remove the indicator repeater by unclipping the cover then twist one way and remove the fitting. Now this one is another pain open the front door on the side you are working on in the corner under the seal is an Allen bolt remove this Under the arch should be 3 Bolts Securing the wing under here undo these and there is one bolt on the bracket that holds the front indicator now along the sill there is a large Allen bolt undo this it will be covered it the underseal so you need to crack the seal. now your nearly done woo hoo under the bonnet now these should be the last three bolts you may need to run a Stanley knife along the edge under the bonnet (if the car had the full underseal done) be careful when handleing the removed wing as the edges are extremelly sharp (yes I cut myself)

I hope this helps
