The wings are bolted with 2X10mm bolts on the door post and then spot welded along the top and a couple of fixings behind and under the headlamp along with a plastic moulding that the bumper clips onto which was pop riveted onto the body, then there are a couple of plastic clips on the lower front of the wheelarch to accommodate two self tappers to hold the bottom of the bumper in place, the wheel arch liner then clips into place around the arch.
I have one that I fitted onto my old car, cost me £85, I just bolted it on at the time to get the car back on the road, spayed it up and it looked ok.

im here !!!
yeah ive got a wing, in silver mind, (and still on the car) it's spot weled along the top and theres a few bolts down the side of the door and one at the bottom, not sure on how the bit below the headlight comes off, need to have a look...
i'll be finishing the odd bit on the cossie stripping so i'll have a bit of time to fiddle around with them.. keep you posted
as for fitting, i cant see why it couldnt be bolted on or pop rivited along the top. line up shouldnt be to difficult as you have 2 bolted points of referance, so once you have them on, close the bonet and set the gap then hold in place with mole grips or simlar...

Wow, you guys have all been so helpful! I wasn't quite expecting that many replies. Not quite sure how to go about addressing everyone's posts but here goes.
Spannerdemon, thanks for the reassurance  I am certainly glad I can still drive my car, at least it means the repairs aren't quite as urgent as they could otherwise have been, but I do want to get rid of any evidence of my own stupidity sooner rather than later - perhaps your simple and cheap solution involving marker pens would be a good one! I would of course supply anyone who helped with alcohol, whether beer or otherwise
As for petehull's post - I'll just nod. £85 doesn't sound too bad, though I'd have to pay for someone to spray it as I just don't have the facilities or knowledge to do it.
Definitely keep me posted on what happens with that wing Matt as I will most probably be interested. Is it worth posting elsewhere on this forum asking whether anyone has one going spare?
Again, thanks for all your advice!

if you need unboltable stuff / unclippable stuff then post a topic in the parts wanted area, as for the wing they are a lot of work and require some tool members may not have,
