never done an Omega wing but aswell as the self tappers on the top of the wing (under the bonnet ;)), there's usually another in the door shut at the bottom.

Front paneling is the bumper assembly.
Sill stone protector is the plastic sill cover.
Wing inner protective panel is the wheel arch liner
Gas pressure strutt is the bonnet strutt

Thats easy....grill off (3 screws) and then remove the screws from the end of the trims under the headlight.
Pop the centres out of teh black rivets along the front lwoer skirt section.
Pop the washer jets off.
Remove the screws from just inside the front wings.
Check round in case I have forgotten to mention any other screws and pull it off!

ive taken a wing off & didnt remove the bumper, if you pull on the rubber bit it should unclip revealing 2x10mm bolts,also if i recall you have to take the plastic inner liner out as there is 1x10mm bolt that goes towards the door shut right inside the rear of the wing, inside the door shut i believe there are 2 of the same bolts [one at the very top], you have to unclip the sideskirt as there are 2 [i think again!] bolts under that, then its the ones across the top & one behind the headlamp, i dont think ive missed anything apart from disconnecting the side repeater lamp,,,hope that helps :y
-
Well.............. I think ;D :y I will have a look tomorrow, n hope for the best.
Cheers for help :y

Easy job but make sure all gaps are correct and match before fixing, close the bonnet down and line up with opposte side, the door gap must be correct so make a mental note of how it looks before you remove old wing.
