This any use...
1. remove bolt at the top which is visible when the front door is open
2. open bonnet and remove all wing bolts here, 5 or 6 of them, dead easy.
3. remove bolt at bottom of wing on outside of car, under the sill near where the front jacking point is,
4. remove grille, headlight, indicator and side repeater and unbolt the 2 bolts holding the arch liner at the side of the front bumper. pull it free a bit,
5. jack car up, or put it on axle stands. remove wheel if you want, then remove the 2 bumper bolts holding the bumper on at the sides, (these are really the only difficult bit.)
6. pull the bumper free at the sides a bit to gain access to the last wing bolt.

4 bolts if I remember correctly, 2 underneath where the bonnet sits over the edge of the wing, 1 behind the headlight which also holds the front bumper up and then one inside the wing not far from the side indicator.

Wings can be changed without the need to remove the headlamp IF you have the correct tools
