Both the wings & the bonnet are off the car, just wondering whats the best (easiest) way to get them lined up ?
Was probly gonna try & line the bonnet up with the scuttle panel first then try & get the wings lined up with the bonnet ? Just wondering if you guys know an easier way before i spend hours trying to do it !!

Cheers Rich.

All you need is a 10mm socket !!
Theres 6 bolts along the top of the wing which you can see when you pop the bonnet.
2 inside the wheel arch (directly under the headlight) that join the wing to the front panel.
1 at the bottom / rear of the wing where it bolts to the sill.
2 inside the car, you'll have to remove the small panels in the footwells that support the parcel shelf to see them.
1 under the headlight on the front panel (only on MK2's)

Hope that helps !

+ you need to take bumper off normally, and to do that you normaly have to undo the 10mm screw/bolt that hold the bumper bracket on the wing + the 4x13mm bolts in the wheel arch.
