open the boot

take off the plastic trim thats directly under oem spoiler

there should be i think 4 bolts or so to undo

then the spoiler should come off

then undo washe jets and the brake light

and should come right off.

then just line the bolts of the new wing one..

kinda pretty straight forward

unless im forgetting something.

BUT make sure u can close and open the boot without it touching the roof!! sometimes the gaps arent always right.. thats the only thing u may have to fiddle around with. so once you bolt the new wing in.. SLOWLY open the boot FULLY and close it FULLY to see if it touches. other than that you should be sweet.

might want to trial fit them before you paint them? unless you haven't already

Always trial-fit before u go spray it...(from experience)

Otherwise, you would ended up hitting the roof and scratch the new paint.

To avoid scratching it...put some masking tapes around the area you think that might hit the roof. They are easy to peel and gives u some basic protection when u put it on.
