Default Instructions to change fender/wing

After our 2000er XKR was hit into the side by a mercedes i have to change the left wing. But for the hell i cannot find disassembly/mounting-instructions in JTIS.

Could please somebody point me to the right direction?

Thanks in advance,

Wolf

Open the hood, there are some screws that hold the wing upper part. Take off the wheel, remove the inner fender (plastic). You will see a "big black box" with lot of vacuum hoses (behind the wheel). You have to remove it to reach all of the other screws behind it, that hold the wing. In front of the wheel there are two more screws that fix the wing to the bumper.

The area in front of the wheel has three Torx screws that hold the bumper to the wing. There are another three nuts that fasten the front of the wing to the chassis. Access to all of these is straight forward once you have the wheel liner out.

Many thanks to you!

That sounds pretty straightforward and not so difficult, so i will try to get the damaged part off in the next days.

I was irritated, because of our Jaguar-Shop told me, that the whole front-bumper has to be unmounted to get the wing of. I then tried to find some info about exchanging the wing in JTIS - but nope, no Instructions for this procedure - or i'm to dumb to find...

Greetings,
Wolf

The only thing I can find in JTIS is this (501-02):
"The front fenders which are common to coupe and convertible models, are each bolted to the front valance, front bumper casing and 'A'
post. Removal and installation of the fenders is detailed in the Body and Paint Repair manual."

These guys reckon they can sell you a copy for 4 Euro:
