Vibrating front wing

Now that we've solved all the mechanical noises, we seem to be noticing any other rattles and squeaks!

We are getting a bit of a vibration at low speed / low revs from the glove box area. I noticed that when cold and idling, you could hear it outside. The front nearside wing feels like it is vibrating around the side vent area.

Is this the wobbly airbox problem that I've read about before?

Any quick tips to sort it?

Remove the side indicator and tighten the, now visible, screw that fixes the side vent.

^^^Excellent assessment per the norm from Alex. Thumbs Up
I did not have the noise but when I repainted my side marker grills black, I did notice that the screw had worked it's way out somewhat.

I have had a few screws fall out of the car due to corrugated roads. Just have to look around & under the car & look for holes that maybe missing a screw. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
