Iirc they just bolt on the bolt/s on the bottom of the wing are tend to snap you will need plusgas to try and get them off
Just to be absolutely clear: are we talking about the front wings, or are we talking about a spoiler? I don't want to assume anything here! 
It's mostly just bolts. Most of which will break. Generic instructions:
1) Jack the car up, remove the wheel and wheel-arch liner.
2) Attempt to undo the nuts/bolts (bottom of wing, inside wing, front of wing).
3) Curse as bottom-of-wing and front-of-wing bolts shear.
4) Drill out bottom-of-wing bolt.
5) Remove wing, recover sponges, disconnect repeaters.
6) Put wing/bumper interface plate into a vice and drill out the bolts.
7) Install new wing and pull repeater light cables through the holes.
8) Put interface plate in place and run stainless bolts/nuts through it and wings.
9) Install lower bolts.
10) Spend about 2 hours aligning the wing and getting the shut-lines right.
11) Tighten everything up.
It's nowhere near that easy, but that's the idea.
No, but iirc you do have to remove the arch liner and foam seal to get to a couple of bolts at the rear of the wing where it bolts up to the post.
A couple of us did a wing swap in a field at one of the meets a couple of years back. cougar571's car iirc.
It sounds like you have some painful memories
It wasn't that bad. It was just...interesting.
And no, you don't have to remove the bonnet as none of the bolts are hidden under the hinge. Here's a pic of what it was like as a work-in-progress:
Good luck, Frog.
