Do you have RAVE? it contains complete workshop and body repair manuals so should be able to help you :)
There's a link in the how to section somewhere, or google "rave land rover"
 
There are only 2 short sections at the bottom (either side of wheel arch) where the bolt fixings are; can't be that hard to find.
I seem to remember there's some panel replacement info on rangerovers.net, which is the same price as a rave download.;)
 
Well have gone through rave manual and nothing how to remove wing ! Waste of money everything but what I need , I suppose it's now a garage job to do :-(

Unbolt it, it's not rocket science. Just look what needs removing and remove it. Do you need the TETLEY instruction manual to make a brew?

I read this all over the place and wander if anyone has actually done it or joined the band wagon of 'just unbolt it'
It is far from simple from what I can see.

For a start the bottom front bolts are not accessible ... so do I need to take the bumper off?

Next the one closest to the door in the jam has the head facing the other way off so how do I get to that? A special tool through the indicator hole? Take the wheel bay liners off (which are corroded on)?

Lastly the bottom ones closer to the door are obscured but may be accessible if I can remove the corroded on mud flap/guard ... But don't want to take them off given they need drilling off so will need new fixings. (Unless it's the confirmed way of doing it) Maybe I should remove the side steps instead and then thr trim.

So lots of questions far from clear to me and a lot more tricky than brewing some Earl Grey unfortunately ..
