front wings, bonnet, front panel chopped these off with a thin cutting disc used 3 at 99p each,then chopped back the inner wings had to leave moer on the left hand side as the ecu would have been dangling in mid air lol

they are not as heavy as they look ,they are fixed behind the grill with a bar between the to spot light brackets and at the bottom with a bar behind the brackets as well if that makes sense.
