To access the screws, open the bonnet and completely remove the front of the vehicle by taking out all the screws located inside the engine bay to easily extract the front grille. Some screws are located near the bonnet catch, which also needs to be removed.

Next, remove the air intake grilles to access the hidden retaining bolts. Use a ratchet spanner to remove the bolts located in the wing.

Once all the bolts are removed, you can now completely extract the wing.
