    Talking How do you put a rear wing on?

    Ok, just bought a rear wing for $50 of a mate. (Gotta love the bargains when peole get desperate for money!!) But I don't know how to put it on. I've had another friend offer to do it, but when he put his on, he ended up with holes that just shouldn't have been there.

    Whats the best way to put a rear wing on, so that it's not going to go anywhere, and there are no holes that shouldn't be there?

    do the bolts screw into the wing or are they attached to the wing?
    if attached to the wing just put it up there, line it up straight, not sure what they have to line up with but id say run a straight edge up from the bumper to the back of the boot on both sides and get it even. do similar on the sides or just measure out from the gap in the boot/sill.
    mark the centre point of the back of the bolts and just make sure you drill them forward enough to be in the dead centre of the thickness of the bolt.
    Give the holes a coat with some sort of rust preventer, obviously not enough to show it under the outside of the wing, boltup and admire your handywork.

    If they are bolted "into the wing" just mark with a whiteboard marker the position of the bolt on the outside of the wing strut, line it all up on your boot, mark where the bolt hole is off the strut, then just measure in to your centre of the bolt and drill.
    too easy, enjoy.

    Matty.
