Question Serious damage

Does the fact that the wing is being replaced in Singapore before Nancy goes back to Toulouse signify the seriousness of the structural damage to the wing spars, or just that it's much cheaper to do the repair in Singapore?

Apart from the serious damage to the wing, I thought that the damage to the fuselage was restricted to the wing/fuselage fairing. Surely if they can replace a wing in Singapore, they can fix the fairing. I am very interested to see how they are going to jig the aircraft to allow fitment of the new wing.
