Looks good! A bit different to see a vR wing on a prefacelift for sure.

Yea I think it compliments the car really well, especially from the side view! I was quite lucky to get one (thanks to jamzo). really have to get one locally as they are way to expensive imported for me. i'll keep an eye out for you :)

    need to fix the horn and headlight wiring.. I have a friend who said he would help, as I'm no good with electronics. however he's been delaying it for a while as he's quite busy. think i'll just take it to an auto electrician to get it sorted..

      basically I took off all the old peeling paint of them first, it can be kinda hard as its paint/rubber? I did this by using a strong sharp bit of plastic (winshield scrapper works well) and getting underneath it and scrapping it off.

      I then sanded it all down to remove any rust and leftover paint.

      then its a matter of taping off everything near it with newspaper to avoid over spray. I used some primer then just a couple coats of matte black paint to redo it and it looks good as new :)

      few things to recommend are to make sure you get off ALL the old paint, otherwise it will show up and look bad. also it would be a lot easier to take the whole trim off, but I couldnt be bothered ripping it off in fear of breaking something or ruining my paint. it would make it easier though!

      pm me if you need more details!
