So I've just taken it down to a local guy who is experienced in detailing, painting, and bodywork and he believes that the wing has likely had a repair in the past, he noticed a couple of very small bubbles in the paint on the leading edge where it meets the bumper and that it "just doesn't feel ...

There is one screw that goes straight up in the wheelarch.
Maybe that one is missing.
Nr 3 on the image is the one I mean.


I've just been out with a socket set and removed screws 3 & 4 from the wheel arch & errant piece of trim. #3 was present, the upper screw of #4 was missing.
