there are the bolts along the top where the bonnet cover, there is one/two in the door shut, one in the wheel arch and also where the bumper is secured on.

If they are original wings then they will also be bonded on which can make getting them off a right pain without damamaging them.

Seeing as no1 else said anything yet....I took some wings of an AX the other day and they had bolts under the bonnet, near the door hinges and on the inside behind the front bumpers. Would presume the 205 is very similar. Just have a good look rounf sure you will be able to work it out.

right had the motor out for a bit this morning,

 

ive undone all the bolts in the wheel arch, and scraped all the sealer out from along the top,

 

i think now the only thing holding it on is the inderseal behind the front panel, you say about a heat gun does that make it easier to scrape off?
