   Changed one on my vtr recently wasn't too bad remove grille, light, inner arch liner and had to loosen bonnet bolts to get a little more room. When it comes to removing iirc its just the run of bolts you can see along top of the wing one behind arch liner where wing meets door pillar and one at the bottom of the wing under door pillar

   No probs mate shouldn't be too bad a job, was a bit of an arse to line up but got there eventually, a second pair of hands always helps tho

   make sure u dont snap the bolt under the door pillar as i have found they have a tendancy to do this i ended up tack welding mine on after doing this
