Greenwood wing removal
I bought this car with the wing a few years ago and want to remove. I have a new rear cover from a donor car so looking for best method to remove the wing. I dont have the original installation instructions so looking for a few tips to remove the wing and rear cover. Thanks!

There are "archived" posts with this info. IIRC, go thru the license plate (hole) to remove in the inner tail lights. Then, the outer ones. Thru these "access points", you'll be able to reach up and feel the 10mm/7mm nuts around the edge of the bumper. These all have to be removed to pull the cover. You also have braces under the rear AND the wheel well has to be detached (where it connects to the bumper).
A true Greenwood, will have posts (rods) jutting from the spoiler down to the inner crash bar. You MAY need to undo those fasteners before disassembly is possible.
You now have more info that the first time I pulled my rear bumper. So...GET AFTER IT!!!

After removal, contact any bumper company in your area. Yellow pages should direct you. Even former chrome bumper replaters work on urethane now.
They should have the 2-part mix/filler to repair the holes -- assuming you don't have/want a new cover.
I'm wondering (and betting) you'll have marks on the panel in front of it too. Unless the legs are smaller than I remember.
(I never owned one....I just pretend to know about C4 stuff!)
