Thank you for the video. Nice job done there and a very quick turnaround so the customer should be very happy. I think you're being too hard on yourself. A 100% perfect colour match is impossible on a 15 year old metallic car where the newly painted replacement panels are next to 15 year old body coloured painted metal and plastic surfaces. As you rightly said the adjacent areas ideally need to be blended in. If the owner's not willing to pay for that then they have to accept there might be a slight shade difference. In any case, I thought it turned out just fine 👍.
Thanks Karl mate, yes definitely any paint that’s 15 years old has either faded or sun bleached. I like to put mint jobs on the channel but I’m honest so they all go on here. Appreciate the comment sir 👍👍
Thanks Phil always appreciate mate 👍 I’ve been slacking a little this past month I’ve been fishing loads and not working but comments like yours definitely inspire me to keep at it so thank you 👍👍👍
nice one, cheers for the video. my nearside wing just gave way at bottom after going through heavy rain yesterday. Being a 59 plate I'll probably throw replacement on and not even bother painting it. Only needs to last another MOT 🤠
Ive just inherited my dad’s mk2 st. He replaced the wings on it this year but i need to treat the surface rust on the underside of the car and i need to treat some rust bubbling that has gotten under the paint through a scratch near the rear passenger side light.
A up Mr hope your well! Just waiting for the next video when you got a minute or two ha ha... I know it must take hours editing 😂 I'm just watching this again trying to copy spray techniques 🙈 for my job. Anyway have a great weekend, not like you do days off but you know what I mean 👍
Hey bud I’m all good thank you 👍 I have 3 videos ready to go I’ll get back to normal schedule very soon. I’m currently fishing so am relaxing away from the workshop 👍
@@YTDTETV OK cheers 👍 I thought I could maybe get away with unscrewing one side to get to those bolts behind the bumper, without taking it off completely.
At first mate I thought you were skipping the painting part lol, do love you paint finish out the gun, shame the customer wouldn't let you blend as that would have been awesome for an old motor, hope 1 of the vids is a little welding maybe 😉😉. Keep them coming sir.
Hey Nigel thank you mate, yes I painted the wings the night before so had to do the intro half way through. I do understand the customer didn’t want to pay shit loads for paintwork and just wanted new wings as it’s an older motor. New vid in a couple of days 👍👍
How do you remove the old wing right. The bolt between the door and panel needs to removed from inside, where the container for the sprinklersystem are placed. So that needs to be removed?
Im here cause my 2009 mk2 I bought had a dent on the left fender with cracked paint. Wonder if I can do the replacement without the need to jack the car up.
Great video, very informative. I have an 07 TDCI and I' m also needing two wings replaced. What was the cost of doing the job and any advice on sourcing the wings and having paint done. Cheers.
Hi bud welcome to the channel and thank you for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video. I brought the wings off eBay, pair of wings was £120 posted I watched them for a couple of days and the seller sent me an offer of £100 posted on both. Pride on paint depends if you can do it your self or if you go to a garage. If you went to a few local garages and asked them to paint both wings off the car so you fit yourself I think you should be able to get both done for around £250 at the right garage.
Hey hey, he's back !!! 😁Had a wing rot out in the same place on my A3. On the A3, it's a 5 inch pocket trap for silt. anyways, had a new wing and had it blended into the door ... colour match is bang on ... Audi Lava grey ...which is a pearl finish I believe. Would have been worth your guy paying the extra for blending i think. BTW, watch your audio levels dude... music is way louder than the voice over
Hey bud yes sorry for the delay 👍👍 dirt definitely sits behind the wings a rots them out. Ooo that lava grey is a nice colour. The match wasn’t to great I do understand he didn’t want to spend to much on a older low value car but I wasn’t keen on looking at the colour so far out 😩.. thank you for the audio tips I will do my best to fix that for next video 👍👍
Hey Trevor thank you 👍👍 the customer was very happy and said it is what it is matching colour to old cars is hard I’m really happy. Thanks for your comment.
do you like my name i wish i was with your skills and had my own garage. im nothing to do with dana/currie axle company any idea what my name means. fix motors yeah.
How cares if the colour is slightly out, plastic bumpers never match, and a metallic car can look some many different colours in the sun most ppl won't know
That’s what I call a great job. Absolutely fantastic paint job. Keep up the great videos mate. Thanks
Hey bud thank you 👍👍 really appreciate your comments.
Nice video. I'm just tackling my old man's MKII & this was really helpful. It always pays to know what bolts you need to take out before you start!
Nice to see you back, nice job done to a high standard on a low budget
Thank you Karter appreciate that mate 👍👍

Loving the sound quality of your mic 🎙. Waiting for the next 🤩
Thanks mate, I try my best to make the quality as good as I can get. Appreciate the comment 👍👍👍

Excellent video mate, thank you. It's a lot more of a job than I initially thought, but all good!
Hey simon sorry for the delay, thank you for that. There was a little bit of stripping down but it wasn’t to bad.
Nice job mate keep up the good work and keep uploading when u can
Hey Carl thank you mate, few more videos to follow 👍👍
A up Mr hope your well!

Is it possible to remove the wing without removing the inner wheel arch liner and bumper?
I'm just replacing one wing, the drivers side.
Hi bud I don’t think so as the wing bolts are under the bumper and wheel arch liner.
@@YTDTETV OK cheers 👍
I thought I could maybe get away with unscrewing one side to get to those bolts behind the bumper, without taking it off completely.
what you do is brilliantmate
Thank you Karl really appreciate that mate 👍👍
brill video. I wish they were all like this but I missed why the bumper had to come off.?
Hey Pete thank you 👍 the ends of the wing go behind the bumper so I like to remove it to have more access to the bolts behind it.
At first mate I thought you were skipping the painting part lol, do love you paint finish out the gun, shame the customer wouldn't let you blend as that would have been awesome for an old motor, hope 1 of the vids is a little welding maybe 😉😉. Keep them coming sir.

@@YTDTETV totally understand as the paint job would be more than the car lol, just keep the content coming.
@@nigelswann2873 exactly that, thanks Nigel 👍👍

Sorry noob question, what’s the process at 3:22 ? What’s a ‘tack rag’?
Hey bud tack rag is used to collect any dust before painting 👍
Great video, very informative. I have an 07 TDCI and I' m also needing two wings replaced. What was the cost of doing the job and any advice on sourcing the wings and having paint done. Cheers.

glad you did this video as i am going to try the same thing .. now i know how much car to take apart just for a pair of wings lol :)
Hey bud thank you 👍 glad the video was useful appreciate that comment 👍
Great video buddy just got a st225 project needs a new wing lol. 👍
Hey bud thank you 👍 good cars the focus’s they just needed abit more protection on the inside of the front wings.
cheers mate
Do you have to remove the bumper and wheels in order to replace the wings, or could you still leave the on?
There is bolts to the wing behind the bumper, if your just doing one side you might be able to just undo one side of the bumper to get to the bolts 👍
Great video, cheers. Given me the confidence to do the job myself on my 2009 focus, are the wing bolts/fittings pretty similar to this model mate?
Hi bud glad the videos are useful thank you 👍 yes the facelift is the same job.
Could you pls help advise how many 300 ml aerosol cans do I need for the base colour for that front wing fender pls?
Hi bud I’m unsure but I reckon 2 cans of the colour and 2 cans of laquer might be enough.
Is this possible to do this with just jacking it up at home and then doing one side at a time ?
Yes definitely 👍 a jack and some axle stands and you’ll be fine
What's up with the 1.8s?
Hey hey, he's back !!! 😁Had a wing rot out in the same place on my A3. On the A3, it's a 5 inch pocket trap for silt. anyways, had a new wing and had it blended into the door ... colour match is bang on ... Audi Lava grey ...which is a pearl finish I believe.

Hey bud yes sorry for the delay 👍👍 dirt definitely sits behind the wings a rots them out. Ooo that lava grey is a nice colour.

Hi mate do you have to take the bumper off to take the wing off??
Yes mate, or atleast pull the corner out to get the wing bolts out 👍
you can only do what your paid to do brother looks sweet 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks grant, appreciate comments from you about bodywork cos your good at it 👍👍
'lets have a butchers' things you love to hear.
Thanks Paul 👍
Hi what did customer say was he happy with the wings they looked good
Hey Trevor thank you 👍👍 the customer was very happy and said it is what it is matching colour to old cars is hard I’m really happy. Thanks for your comment.
Can you Tell me the pain Code i ganz find it in my car 😢
Decent work and video mate. My 09 has the same issue with both wings. Where abouts are you based?
Hi bud thank you I’m in deal in Kent 👍
thanks guy!!!💪
Thank you bud 👍
Why did the front bumper need to be removed
There is bolts for the wings under the front bumper.
Would it not be better to just get two used wings in colour?
Problem is most original focus front wings are rusty or not far from it then trying to find a pair in the same colour with no damage is really hard.
How long did it take to fit both wings mate ?
Hi Richard. I can’t remember exactly but I know it’s no more than a 2 hour job start to finish with fitting. 👍
@@YTDTETV thanks mate Im having 2 wings fitted on Saturday so just wanted an idea many thanks
We’re they Tong Yang wings?
They wernt keeb, tong yang fit better than these. These wernt to bad but I did have to tweak them into shape.
Put mud guards on after replacing wings.
Can't see how you only had 6 bolts when mine has 13 either side for same year...although it's an ST the wings are exactly the same
Hey bud yep that’s literally all there was, I would have thought the st would be the same but I havnt worked on one.
do you like my name i wish i was with your skills and had my own garage.
im nothing to do with dana/currie axle company any idea what my name means. fix motors yeah.
Hey bud ye sure, appreciate the comment plenty of practice always helps with any job 👍
Ja nie mam zaślepki mam szybkę z boku ..
Not so happy with your 15 minute video… It took me a whole day.😂
How cares if the colour is slightly out, plastic bumpers never match, and a metallic car can look some many different colours in the sun most ppl won't know
Hey Kieth you so right bumpers are normally a slightly different shade, the customer was super happy so went down ok 👍
