Removing Front Wings on Mk2
Hi Folks. Just a quicky.
Are front wings difficult to remove without damaging?
Can wings be removed with arch spats still fitted or will they need removing?
Any advice/tips to removing wings?
Thanks in advance

Exhaust question (purchase)
Hi Chaps. Can anyone point me in the right direction for buying a new centre and rear section of exhaust for my 1987 (Carb) scala?
