They need cutting off and welding to the wing, folded over at the rear edge, welded at the top.

Mini 90 Are the A panels spot welded where they fold around the door hinge area?
I just cut mine roughly off and I havent removed the folded bit yet. I figured it was welded on so id have to drill, but should I just be able to unfold it?

The "A" panel is spot welded to the flange on the door pillar , and it is important to make sure the new one is welded in this area too (for the rigidity of the bodyshell and its impact absorbing properties)
