    Been a while since I worked for Honda but if I remember the coupe was out on its own with regards to most panels.There a part number on the old wing you have in the shed?I still have some of the old parts catalogues saved in the job.

    There is no part number on it, none that I can see anyways unless this is some spurious panel I have here.

    The wings are different from a 96-98 Pre-Facelift Civic to the 99-00 Facelift Civic

    The wing came of a 97 3dr hatch and the coupe is a 98 pre face lift so it's all good.

    Is the wing a bastard to get off?

    Does the side skirt have to slide back to get the wing off? I know on the accord you have to get the skirt to slide forwards as the wing wont come off unless you do.

    The wing itself isn't that bad to get off, its the plastic arch liner that's the tricky bit. the heads of the plastic push in screw things will probably break off but they still work after and there 2or3 proper screws anyway.

    There are 3 bolts under the wing near the headlamp,they're a bit tricky but if you want there's just one bolt on a bracket that goes onto the headlamp mounting the can be taken off.

    The skirts slide forward once you undo the three plastic push screws underneath and the few screws under the mud flap. there will be white clips then under the skirt. its IMPOSSIBLE to put the skirt back on by sliding back the opposite way, as these clips rotate. You can gently twist these out though by squeezing both sides with something thin to get in close near the bodywork.Then just pop them onto the skirt and push it onto the car again.

    One thing before you take it off though is mark the position of the old wing with a marker or something and put the new one back in the same place to keep the same shut lines.

    Not too bad at all. Ye the spashguard under the arch was fiddly but other then that no real hassle, got it lined up nice and straight so you would never know it ever had a new wing:)
