Damn winglet!
![](http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj499/AWG25/Misc/IMG_1699.jpg)
So after the feedback on getting the winglet resprayed (cheers by the way
) I gathered some quotes and popped to Kraftwork in Chelsmord. They said if I could drop the winglet off they would get it done as soon as possible. Happy days however...
Couldn't get the little bugger off!![Ponder2](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/ponder2.gif)
![](http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj499/AWG25/Misc/IMG_1704.jpg)
Several poppers later it freed up but the bolts were corroded and would not budge at all.

I wanted to take the whole bumper off in the end so I could cut the bolts off but there were some hidden fixings that I could not see! Before I got the hump I called it a day.![Frown](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Can anyone offer some advise on removing the winglets?
Cheers all

Cheers guys, I refuse to be beaten by 3 x 10mm bolts but I turn it and the whole thing turns! I had a set of mole grips at the other end but the bolts threads into the latch fastener if that makes sense and not a nut

So I need to get the bumper off so I can cut the blighters off and replace with ones that are a bit more Andy friendly!
Of all the dopey buttons the STi has why isn't there one that just releases the bloody front bumper
