Anybody changed the rear wings on their z3 - my arches are blistering a bit and i thought i might change them.
Also anybody got a pair of rear wings - cosmos black would be great

Do you know which type of wings you require? pre/post facelift, normal/wide bodied? just a thought

From looking at it, it all looks very straight forward - but I can't say for sure!

When fitting my Aero skirts I know that there are a row of bolts beneath the plastic trim which sits inside the drivers door shut. With these bolts removed and the botls removed from behind the inner arch liner I found that the bottom half of the arch is entirely free.

As I'm sure you know, there are a row of bolts within the boot shut, I assume these hold the top end in place.

Finally, I'd assume that removing the rear light might also uncover a bolt which pins the rear corner in place.

I asked my old man who does body work, and he checked the autodata times. According to the garage manuals it is a 6 hour job

I asked a crash repair expert to replace it, and he said it would be quicker to repair.

Hmm... from looking around on forums I've seen a fair few people in the US have changed their 4-cyl narrow arches for 6-cyl variants, all evidence seems to suggest it's a simple process...!
