I give up..!
Damn winglet!
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!
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.
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
